15 of the most debt-ridden states

While many people have bounced back from the Great Recession, others are still struggling to jumpstart their earnings and make a significant dent in their debt.

A recent article on Credio.com, a new website that provides comparisons for financial products and services created by Graphiq, which in turn is a website that transforms data into visualizations, compiled the data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to see how U.S. debt has changed over time. The debt that they dug into includes mortgage, auto loans, credit card and student loan debt per capita from 2003 until 2014.

They then ranked the states to see where consumers are most indebted. The following list provides you with a number of opportunities to help consumers get the reigns of their financial futures.

Here are the top 15 states with the most debt, as ranked by Credio.
