Summary:

An annual statistical review from CCCS (The Consumer Credit Counselling Service) that provides detailed analysis of data obtained from people who sought the help of the CCCS in 2009. The main findings of the review are that:

  • Only a quarter of clients seen in 2009 were in a position to repay their debts;
  • Around 30 percent of clients had no immediate solution as most had budget deficits and their only recommended option was to increase income;
  • Just under half of all clients were homeowners, although the rate of increase in homeowners seeking help has slowed over the last 12 months;
  • There was a slight increase in the proportion of clients under 25, the majority of clients continue to be in their 40s and 50s; and
  • The percentage of male clients seeking help rose to 48 percent in 2009 compared to 44% in 2007, whilst the number of single women seeking help has declined slightly.
