The Debt Penalty - Debt in the UK Documentary

The Debt Penalty looks at the implications of Britain’s spending habits. As a nation we love to spend, and with the availability of numerous credit cards, overdrafts and personal loans, we can spend more than ever before.

The only catch is: we're spending resources that we don't have. Racking up debts may have become a national pastime, but if interest rates rise, unemployment goes up, or energy costs continue to see the huge recent leaps, the situation could significantly worsen, leading to many people's debts spiralling out of control.

The Debt Penalty seeks to find the root of the problem. With so many people struggling, the need for financial awareness is becoming a high priority.

The Debt Penalty is about changing people’s attitudes towards finance; a truthful look at the story behind the what is fast becoming a serious issue.
