Advice Bureau reports record debt help enquiries

New information released by the Citizens Advice Bureau suggests that just shy of 7000 Brits contact the agency, on a daily basis, with debt related issues.

Accordingly, of all enquires received by the Bureau, debt help matters are by far the most prevalent. They have also noted that faired against the same time last year, the number of individuals seeking help has increased by more than 55%.

Issues of personal debt are recognised to be one of the nations top concerns. This fact is further reflected in recent Government statistics, which reveals that personal debt has collectively surpassed the 1.5 Trillion pound mark and is still growing.

A spokesperson for the Bureau suggested that whilst as a country, we have been revelling in some fantastic credit offerings; it is unfortunate to see that many are seriously suffering to cope with escalating debt as a result. He further commented that actual visits to their Branches, usually from people in the most dire of situations, had also increased by around 30% in the last year alone.
