Blog: Focus on arrears increasing in stressed economy
Abstract
Credit card borrowing was up 10.6 per cent in the last year, the biggest rise in three years. Some of this will be because of the fact that unsecured credit is so readily available, but some may be because monthly disposable income is being squeezed. An area in particular that has been reported on appears to be disproportionate borrowing rates on personal overdrafts, with many equivalent annual percentage rates at well over 30 per cent.
