Of the 1,042 people surveyed, one in seven Australians have missed a minimum bill repayment in the past three months – up from 12 per cent in September 2009.
Of those who had missed a repayment, one in ten are looking to take on more debt in the next six months.
"This is the highest level of debt stress in the past two and a half years of this study," a Veda Advantage spokesperson said.
