    The main cause of dept is high taxation and the various forms of stealth tax. Also greedy property speculators who are now feeling the consequences. The government is to blame for not putting a stop to it all. Taxation on fuel is the biggest cause of debt because it effects shop prices on food and everything else. People must eat and that is before anything else, council tax, fuel bills, etc. For many people the only way is for increasing dept, particularly pensioners whos pensions are also unfairly taxed.

    Why does the government still allow loan agencies and the likes to still advertise there so called cheap loans etc on national tv. They should ban it then it would be less accessable t those who think they are in for any easy fix rather than dragging them into further debt. BUT THE GOVERNMENT ARE PROBABLY GETTING A TAKE FROM IT - LIKE EVRY THING ELSE
