The Money Advice Service reports that 15.9% of the population are over-indebted, which accounts for more than 8.26m people in the United Kingdom.
The East Midlands Region has over 600,000 over-indebted adults, which equates to 16.2% of the adult population. Nottingham was the Local Authority area with the highest proportion of over-indebted people in the region (21.9%), followed by Leicester (21.0%) and Lincoln (20.0%). The areas with the lowest proportion of the population who are over-indebted were Rushcliffe (11.9%), the Derbyshire Dales (12.0%) and Harborough (12.2%).
People from all walks of life can be affected by debt, but research by the Money Advice Service and CACI has found that there are a number of key factors which are linked to over-indebtedness including – renting rather than owning your home; having a larger family; being a single parent; having a low income; and being a younger adult (particularly between the ages of 25-34).

We are funded by the Money Advice Service to make this advice available and to work together to ensure that advice across the partnership is of a consistently high quality.
