In addition, the number of so-called perpetual debtors has also increased by one-third since 2010. This is according to open data from Kronofogden, which the News Agency Sirén has processed.
"Many of the perpetual debtors were affected by the recent real estate crisis in the early 1990s," Annina H Persson, professor of civil law at Örebro University, told the news agency.
In Östergötland, Norrköping tops the statistics with about 1,500 indebtedness debtors. In Linköping they are about 900.
