Responding to the Bank of England Money and Credit July 2017 statistical release, Peter Tutton, Head of Policy at StepChange Debt Charity, said: “With stagnant wages and rising inflation squeezing household incomes further, a slight decrease in the rate of growth for consumer credit is no sign of relief. These latest figures show overall consumer credit is rising by nearly 10% annually and with people now getting into debt at a younger age and an estimated 8.8 million turning to credit to meet essential living costs, we must remain vigilant that a credit bubble is not history repeating. |

Commenting on credit cards and long-term debt, Head of Debt, Craig Simmons at the Money Advice Service said: “Household debt in moderation is not a bad thing. However, when money worries start to become a problem, for example if you find yourself using credit to pay essential bills or falling behind on them, it’s important to remember that you don’t need to deal with it alone. In the first instance, it can be a good idea to speak to your lender, who can often work out a repayment plan that is affordable to you. There are also lots of services available across the UK, who will provide personal, impartial and free advice to deal with money problems.” |

Commenting on the FCA PPI deadline announcement, Policy Expert at the Money Advice Service, Andrew Johnson said: “If you have previously taken out a loan, mortgage or credit card and think you may have been misold PPI, you should get your claim in as soon as possible as the two-year countdown to the 29th August 2019 deadline begins. There is rarely any need to use Claims Management Companies to reclaim mis-sold PPI, who often charge large amounts of commission. Help on how to complain to financial firms directly, and if necessary to the ombudsman service can be found on the Money Advice Service website. Alternatively visit the FCA's new micro site”. |
