Summary

This major report by CAS reveals that the numbers - and levels - of personal debt among CAB clients has more than doubled over the last 5 years. The detailed report analyses figures from real debt cases brought to CAB staff across Scotland and reveals a picture of rapidly mounting debt against a background of increasingly aggressive recovery tactics from lenders. The result is desperation among clients - some of whom are even going without food or heating in order to pay off their debts.
