'Tighter criteria' for debt management

'Tighter criteria' for debt management

- Friday, 8 May 2009

Britons looking to manage debt by arranging new lending could find their access to loans is still worsening.

The news comes despite the credit crunch - which is named for the reduced access to lending that consumers have faced - reaching its 21-month anniversary on May 9th.

Financial information service Moneyfacts notes that lending criteria continue to tighten, while average interest rates rise, causing a double negative effect for Britons' debt management efforts.

Headline rates may not reflect the higher costs faced by less desirable borrowers, the organisation points out.

Analyst Michelle Slade says: "The actual increase a customer has to pay today compared to a few years ago could be much higher.

"Tighter lending criteria is likely to mean only those with a perfect credit history will be getting the best rates."

As a result, the typical interest accrued on a three-year £5,000 loan has risen from £664 to £957, potentially putting consumers' ability to manage debt at risk.ADNFCR-2300-ID-19159776-ADNFCR
