Almost one million people are concerned about debt amid the Covid-19 crisis and matters may get worse when the mortgage breaks start to end this month, according to the Money Advice and Budgeting Service.

The survey by Mabs found the Covid-19 crisis had increased levels of debt distress since late last year, among the 35-54-year-olds living in urban centres and the commuter belt, in particular.
