'Sixth of severe debtors seek help'

Just one in six of the nearly nine million people estimated to be trapped in a spiral of severe debt in the UK is getting help to break free, Government-backed body the Money Advice Service (MAS) has found.

Around 8.8 million people are "over-indebted", meaning they have fallen at least three months behind with their bills in the last six months or they feel their debts are a heavy burden.
