An estimated £55bn of debt is being hidden from family members by Brits who aren't disclosing the true extent of their money worries, according to a survey by the Post Office.
Almost a third of people currently in debt admit to hiding it from other family members, with more than a fifth not revealing to their partner the amount of cash they owe.
As many as 78% of people who have hidden debt have never confessed to the extent of their financial dishonesty. Of the 22% who did, the majority were caught out rather than admitting it themselves!
