Many of us live off credit, yet credit too often and too easily turns into debt. Last year over two million people in debt came before the hard-pressed county courts. In some areas cases have to be disposed of at the rate of one a minute. To pay off existing debts people are turning in despair to loan sharks, who can push them further and further into trouble - and often in the end into prison.
