Debtors faced a monthly bill of £675.52 to meet payments. This figure made up 58% of the average CCCS client’s earnings of £1,173.23 a month after tax.
Delroy Corinaldi, external affairs director at CCCS, said: "With rising prices continuing to push up the cost of living, household budgets are under increasing pressure and these figures show how difficult it can be to escape from debt once it builds up. Our advice to anyone struggling to cope with their repayments is to seek free advice as early as possible."
