More than 20 million people - nearly half the adult population - are worried about their debt levels, according to a new survey by R3, the insolvency trade body.
One fifth of UK adults said that they were said that they were 'very' or 'extremely' worried about their current debts, up from just 12 percent in February.
Over two fifths of people (42 percent) of GB adults say that they struggle to make it to payday. The majority of these people blame the rising cost of living for their financial difficulties.
R3's president Liz Bingham says: "Although the economy is starting to pick up, many families are finding themselves left behind, weighed down by the cost of the day-to-day.
"Many people are struggling to afford the absolute essentials. It is hard to see the situation improving over the rest of the year, especially given the run-up to Christmas coming up in the autumn."
A spokesman for StepChange Debt Charity said: "These figures only serve to highlight the precarious financial position that many people find themselves in. Anyone struggling with financial difficulties should seek debt advice at the earliest opportunity ".
