More people than ever before are choosing to go bankrupt to get out of the misery of spiralling debt.
There has been a record 146 per cent increase in the number of people petitioning for their own bankruptcy in Bath - well above the national average of 85 per cent.

And those people, who have declared themselves bankrupt, have debts of about £46,500.
