7 ways to use the web and pay off your DMP quicker
You’ve been on your debt management plan for some time now and...
Today we released our Statistics Yearbook 2015, which is full of information about personal debt in the UK.
How much do people owe on average? What types of debt do they have? Are there some people who are more at risk of debt than others?
The Statistics Yearbook takes a closer look at how debt affects people across the UK, and gives us a better understanding of the causes and consequences of it.
A lot of our clients tell us they feel ashamed or embarrassed about being in debt, or that it makes them feel like a bad person. With so much stigma still around it, it can help to know you’re not alone in being in debt.
And with over half a million people getting in touch with us for help in 2015 alone, you’d definitely not be alone in getting help to deal with unmanageable debt!
So what are the main things we learnt from the people who got in touch with us in 2015?
As well as helping people to deal with their debt, a big part of what we do involves campaigning, as well as working with the Government, the financial services industry and our partners to create change. We want to make it less likely that people will find themselves in debt, and make sure that there are better protections in place for those who do.
These stats give us a better idea of what needs to be done to improve the experiences of those who are facing debt problems.
