Personal insolvencies up again

Personal insolvencies have increased for the first time in a year as more people struggle with unmanageable debt, official figures show.

There were 28,062 individual insolvencies across England and Wales, showing a 2.5% increase on the previous quarter, although the figure is still 7.2% lower than the same period a year ago, the Insolvency Service said.
