story of how an £11,738 debt rose to £72,000 causing a man to take his own life.

How can it be possible for companies who have nothing to do with the owed debt to legally pile so much on top of the original sum?!?

Economists are saying that the level of personal debt will trigger the next economic crash. It is scarily high.

Easily done when the poorest and most desperate feel compelled to borrow at 99 percent interest. Which should be illegal. Cant understand why its not.
