Personal insolvencies increase by 7% compared with April of the previous year, according to Insolvency Service statistics reported by both outlets. The figures refer to April and indicate a continued upward trend in personal insolvency cases year-on-year. In addition to the change in personal insolvencies, company insolvencies also rise in April, with the number of companies going insolvent climbing over the same period. The coverage is based on the Insolvency Service’s monthly data and presents a consistent picture: both personal and corporate insolvency measures are higher than a year earlier. The reports do not provide additional breakdowns, such as the number of cases by type, geographic distribution, or whether the month-to-month change is larger or smaller than the annual change. Overall, the articles state that April sees both sectors moving upward, with the clearest quantified figure being the 7% year-on-year increase in personal insolvencies.
