Bank Accounts Latest News UK 'divided into savers and those who cannot pay debts' UK 'divided into savers and those who cannot pay debts'
When it comes to personal finances, one industry expert claims that Britons are set to be split into two separate groups.
People are split into two distinct groups with regards to money management, an industry expert claims.According to Motley Fool director David Kuo, "Britain will be a divided nation" - separated into those who are able to put money into saving accounts and people that are not in a position to be able to repay their debts.
He goes on to claim that those relying on the likes of credit cards to supplement their day-to-day finances may find their access to such products are curtailed.
Pointing towards rising unemployment rates, Mr Kuo states that an increasing number of borrowers are set to default on their debts.
In turn, he suggests that "banks are fearful about lending money and then not seeing the money come back".
Comments by the Motley Fool director come on the back of figures by Credit Action revealing that the nation's personal debt accounted for some £1,459 billion as of the end of April.
Meanwhile, consumer credit lending to individuals stood at £232 billion, a fall of 2.9 per cent from the same point 12 months ago.

I want to pay my debts while i have a job sounds promising . how many 1000s of people in the same situation ? why is the government and the rich holding the average person that works hard gets kicked in the teeth hearing that people earn bonuses more than there wages . ? the construction industry has shafted the workforce that makes them billions no bonuses for the manual worker no rise either bonus for the top man lower the wage. fed up of being trud on .
