Figures from the Bank of England published this week show that the amount of money being written off by lenders hit a high in the second quarter of 2010.
The value of write-offs jumped to £2.1bn in April, May and June, up from £1.3bn in the first quarter of 2010.
Lenders write off debt if they conclude that borrowers are unable to repay.
