According to research by Callcredit Information Group, 30% of consumers see defaulting on a loan payment as being the fault of the lender rather than the borrower. The study also revealed that consumers are increasingly feeling


financial pressure, with almost half (45%) saying the financial burden on their personal finances has increased and that they feel more pressure than they did the year before. In addition, more than a fifth (21%) of consumers say they have to rely more on credit for essentials and over two-fifths (41%) say that their ability to repay has not increased in line with higher credit limits they have been offered. Adam Gillott, head of debt and utilities, said: “Our research


reveals that there is confusion about where the responsibility lies when it comes to preventing default. It is evident that lenders must take charge when it comes to affordability assessments throughout the customer lifecycle.”


Lowell has announced its results for its full year ended 31 December 2017, with double-digit growth across all key metrics. CEO, James Cornell, said: “The last 12 months have been a


period of significant change for our business: embedding the new brand and the acquisition of the carve-out business from Intrum. But this is how we consistently deliver for our stakeholders – better results through continued innovation, investment and improvement.”
