Average personal debt in the UK has risen above the 4,000 mark for the first time ever according to recent research from Datamonitor. In February 2005 figures were published which showed that debt on personal loans, credit cards, finance deals and overdrafts amounted to 4004 per UK adult by the end of 2004. Credit borrowing it seems is still at a very strong level, despite last year’s interest rate rises and an uncertain housing market.
Borrowing on bad credit personal loans has contributed to this debt figure too. There has been a steady increase in the number of applicants applying for bad credit personal loans in the UK. CCJs, mortgage arrears and house repossessions are at an all time low, allowing borrowers to break free of the traditional chains that have prevented them from being accepted for personal loans on the back of a bad credit history. This has made bad credit personal loans more accessible to consumers, with loans companies more willing to extend credit to people with a bad credit history based on income-debt ratios and the ability of the applicant to handle debt responsibly.
