Responding to the Financial Conduct Authority’s consultation today on proposals to support credit card and personal loan borrowers impacted by coronavirus, Eric Leenders, Managing Director of Personal Finance at UK Finance, said:
Lenders continue to provide unprecedented support to borrowers impacted by the Covid-19 crisis and are working closely with the FCA to ensure customers continue to receive the help they need.
“It will always be in the long-term interest of customers who are able to do so to resume making payments, but for anyone who is still struggling ongoing support will be available.
“This could include the option of further payment deferrals on credit cards and personal loans in some circumstances or providing more tailored support where appropriate.
“Customers seeking to access this support do not need to contact their lenders yet and should wait for further updates on how to apply once these measures have been finalised.
