As part of it's 'In the red: debt and mental health' report, Mind found that 91 per cent of people questioned thought that debt had contributed to their poor mental health.
According to the study, as the cost of living rises and we deal with a credit crunch, we are seeing the real impact that debt can have as 50 per cent of respondents admitted to going without food and heating.
This isn't unheard of even in Penzance but debt is a serious problem and can effect people in many different ways.

Is it me or is it quite hard for people in debt to find the correct information, some solid information on their rights... is it their fault because they are in debt or is this a social decease?
