The above is consumer debt in the UK

It's far to easy taking out of these loans, let us not forget the Government told people to spend there way out of a slump and they did now look at this mess.

My wife and I are still in £30,000 worth of personal debt, after paying off over £1,000 a month for 3 years +. Nobody held a gun to our head and made us take out the cards/loans/HP - it was our own stupid fault. Admittedly, the banks made it easy for us, but that's their job - I really can't see how you can blame the government for this one.
