Gender and debt management plans

If you're a male and living in the UK you're twenty per cent more likely than a women to need a debt management plan.

That's the view of Chiltern, after the debt management company carried out research into their own customers genders.

A spokesperson for the group commented on the findings, stating: "The debt profile of men and women highlights the really difficult and unsustainable position both sexes are in when they turn to a company like Chiltern to help them manage their debts."
