The latest monthly figures published by Credit Action have revealed £15.68 million is written off by banks and building societies each day.

Some of this may be due to IVA help being sought by those owing £15,000 or more, who are unable to meet their repayments.

This may be accepted by creditors as an alternative to bankruptcy, as they will get at least some of their money back, while those owing the money can keep their financial situation confidential.
