After a +3% point rise in consumer confidence in the third quarter of 2017, the latest Deloitte Consumer Tracker remains flat at -7%. This quarter’s results represent the first time since our survey began in 2011 that confidence has not fallen in the final quarter of the year.
For The State of the State 2017-18 Deloitte LLP commissioned Ipsos MORI to survey c.1000 UK adults on their attitudes to public service spending and austerity; social care services and personal data sharing.
For the third consecutive year, Lindorf conducts a survey for executives across Europa about how they believe leading indicators in the credit management services market will develop in the upcoming year.
Findings from our latest Snapshots survey are now available. ‘Money Matters’ looks at how optimistic UK consumers feel about their financial situation in 2015, and compares this with results from the previous four surveys.

The start of the school year is near. While there is still a need to get back to the basics with pencils and textbooks, digital influences continue to increase and device ownership is at an all-time high. Parents’ household financial situation is holding consistent with last year, and so too is families’ average spending on school supplies. In addition, cyber security continues to be top of mind, as the majority of consumers demonstrate concerns about the protection of their personal data. These trends and more are highlighted in our latest surveys: www.deloitte.com/us/2015Back2School.

1. A look at the lives of half a million people in debt in the UK
Statistics
Yearbook
Personal Debt 2015
2. StepChange Debt Charity research2
Main findings 2015
1 Not including arrears on essential household bills.
Unless otherwise specified, data is based on the 307,043
new clients debt advised in 2015.
What debts do people have?
The average unsecured debt of our clients in
2015 was £13,9001
. The average number of debts
per person was 5.6. Credit cards were the most
common unsecured debt.
The proportion of clients we see with arrears on
essential household bills continues to grow. More
than four in 10 now owe money on items such as
council tax, rent and utilities. This is compared to
around a quarter in 2011.
Who’s seeking advice?
More than half (57%) of those seeking debt advice in 2015
were employed. But of these, fewer people have full-time jobs,
and more people have part-time jobs. More renters need help
than ever before. In 2015 over 75% of StepChange Debt Charity
clients live in rented accommodation, compared to a little over
50% five years ago.
More young people are contacting us; 57% of clients are under
40, and 14% are under 25. A growing proportion of clients are
single parents, now at close to 20%. This compares to just 7%
of UK households.
The average income for clients has continued to fall, now annually
at under £16,000 (net). The amount clients are left with at the end
of the month has also fallen over the last year, now at an average
of £55 per month.
The biggest cause of falling into debt is an income or employment
change. One in five of the charity’s clients in 2015 fell into problem
debt due to losing their job. A further 15% fell into problem debt due
to a reduced or irregular income. The average income of our clients
in 2015 was the lowest it has been in the previous five years.
Demand for debt advice
549,053 people contacted StepChange Debt Charity for help
in 2015. London continues to be the area where people are
most likely to be in need of advice. There were over three
million visits to the charity’s website, a 97% increase on 2012.
The data in this Statistics Yearbook is drawn
from a StepChange Debt Charity warehouse
containing the details of 20.5 million calls
and over three million clients. 2015 figures
are based on the 307,043 new
clients in this year.
