Following the news that unemployment has hit a ten year high, Britons have once again been warned of the perils of occurring too much debt.

According to The Office for National Statistics, the bleak picture shows unemployment rising to 2.261 million within three months. In fact the amount of people in work has dropped within three months by the largest amount since records began.

This equates to 7.2% unemployed.

A spokesperson for Debt Advisers Direct added: "Although the latest figures are better than expected, they’re still worrying - especially for people in debt.

"People with outstanding debts have not only bills to pay and expenses to meet, but also debt repayments to make, and any loss of income could threaten their ability to do that, which could easily make a bad situation worse"

Continuing with the impending sense of doom the organisation have also stated that talk of the end of inflation is premature to say the least.

There have been whispers through the grapevine that the economy may be heading for an inflation which could mean good news for those struggling with mountain of debt.

The Debt Advisers Direct remarked: "There is still a lot of uncertainty in the economy, and people should take this as a sign of the need to protect their finances and ensure any debts are being dealt with in the right way."

They added: "Anyone who is unsure about how to manage their debts should seek professional debt advice."
