Americans are piling up record debt. A new report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York shows total household debt in the U.S. hit more than $12.8 trillion in the second quarter. That's up more than $550 billion from a year ago. The report cites modest increases in home and car loans, and credit card debt. Less than 5% of that overall debt is delinquent.
But the New York Fed also noted a significant jump in credit card delinquencies from last year.
