New York (CNN Business) US households are now sitting on a record $14 trillion in mortgages, credit cards, student loans and other forms of debt.

Consumer debt is now about $1.3 trillion higher than the previous peak set in 2008, although these figures are not adjusted for inflation nor the larger size of today's economy. Household debt has climbed about 25% from the post-recession low of $12.7 trillion.

Mortgages remains the largest chunk of Americans' debt, accounting for $9.44 trillion. That's up by $31 billion, or 0.3%, from the end of the second quarter, according to the NY Fed.

Student loans climbed by 1.4% to $1.5 trillion, while credit card balances rose $13 billion during the third quarter.
