Many people with debt while not seem to get enough help. This is partly met by the criteria which must be before someone gets debt. The motivation and behavior of individuals themselves often do not help them. Conclude the University of Utrecht and the association for debt and social banking (NVVK) after joint research.

Across the NIS said Jetta Klijnsma Minister responsible for Social Affairs that everyone who comes to the city to help some hair concerns is viewed individually. If after such a check is not eligible for assistance according to the Secretary knock the best in the city council or ombudsman.

The researchers from Utrecht conclude that the policy should be modified. Now it is still true that people without income or with a registration at the Chamber of Commerce excluded from assistance. Even people who previously relied on debt relief, or are involved in a divorce have to solve it yourself. Improper reasons, finds Joke de Kock NVVK. Many other problems arise precisely because according to its financial problems.

Figures from the NVVK shows the number of applications for debt fell last year to be 84,500 people compared to 89,000 in 2013. The average debt did go up: from 33,500 euros to 37,700 euros
