Average family debt is £3200!

worriedwilf

Just read an article which states that the average family debt is £3200 (unsecured)

That means that at my worst I was 10x worse than average. How dreadful. I really thought the average would have been higher than 3k

Hi

I have not seen that one, where can it be found if you don't mind me asking?

September figures below from Credit Action (hope the above is not in there, if it is, then I have missed it

The ONS printed something a few months ago with that figure - could be an article article based on that?

It was a median average figure of £3200 (my least favourite average :undecided).

I really thought it would be a lot more than that. More like 15k!

Hi

Thanks for this.

'Median' - that's an interesting take:)
