Almost one fifth of British people (19%) would never inform a partner of their debt situation, according to new research by Equifax. The survey, carried out online with
Gorkana, found those aged 65 and over (29%) are almost twice as likely as those aged 18-24 and 35-44 (both 12%) not to reveal their debt to their significant other. Richard Haymes, head of financial
difficulties at TDX Group, an Equifax company, said: “Our research shows that when it comes to talking about debt it remains a taboo subject, even with our friends and family. In an environment where people are borrowing at record levels, it is concerning that they feel they cannot be open about their situation. “It is encouraging to see that younger
generations are bucking the trend and are being more transparent about debt and money problems.”
New figures released by the Finance & Leasing Association show that new business volumes in the point of sale (POS) consumer new car finance market fell by 16% in September, compared with the same month in 2017, and the value of new business was 14% lower over the same period. In Q3 2018 overall, new business fell 4%
by value and 6% by volume. Geraldine Kilkelly, head of research and
chief economist, said: “Recent trends in the POS consumer new car finance market have reflected those for private new car sales, which have been affected by changes to emission standards introduced in September. “The POS consumer car finance market overall reported new business volumes up
by 3% in the first nine months of 2018, in line with expectations of single-digit growth for the year as a whole.”
Research from Arrow Global’s Debt Britain report shows that, despite worrying levels of debt, almost half of consumers (46%) said that they did not need any advice – 28% said when it comes to money matters they seek advice from friends and family, while only one in five (19%) said they have taken advantage of specialist free advice from debt charities and organisations. Lee Rochford, group chief executive
officer, said: “Our research reveals there is a worrying lack of awareness amongst consumers when it comes to the interest rates they are paying on their debts. With just 19% using free debt advice and 46% of consumers thinking they do not need to seek advice, we are concerned this is potentially storing up debt problems for the future.”
Experian has launched a new set of Open Banking services – Affordability Check and Tennant Vetting Service. Tom Blacksell, managing director of B2B
