Credit Card Holder

Good credit card holders face sanctions

In a desperate attempt to recoup some profit, the credit card companies are targeting against low-risk customers. The companies are reeling as they need to recover millions of pounds in lost revenue and bad debts after the regulator rate ceilings imposed sentence.

As a result, last year's 2.5 million credit cardholders were affected, with new fees charged, closed accounts and reducing spending limits.

Of these 2.5 million customers, only 16 percent were classified as poor clients, borrowers who had missed a payment or exceed your credit limit. The other 84 percent, about 2.1 million people, low-risk customers who always paid at least the minimum each month.

Many of the customers affected by the new rates and changes to your account the amount actually paid for each month, due while more than half paid more than minimum payments each month.

USwitch, credit comparison site that conducted the research say that "Credit card providers are taking drastic steps to control the bad debt.The question is whether providers are simply trying reduce the risk and debt, or whether they are trying to filter out less profitable customers. "

Head of personal finance at uSwitch.com, Simeon Linstead, says: "We are not against the credit card providers curb consumer spending if their debts are really out of control. However, companies Credit cards are taking actions to close or make changes to customer accounts must be completely open about how and why they have chosen these customers. "

APAC, the industry body which regulates credit card companies report the 31 million credit card accounts open, 21.4 million fully paid regularly or always.

Mr Linstead said: "These customers are less profitable for a company card credit to get their books, unless you withdraw cash using your card abroad or get caught by the order of repayments. They will not be contributing much to the £ 6,186 million in interest on the credit card industry last year. "

Credit cards are increasingly being used to pay expenses from home, a fact that many experts find troubling. High street retailers are particularly concerned that spending has reached a minimum of three years, most likely due to smaller loans and decreases as customers use their credit cards for more mundane purposes in their struggle for pay the bills.

Payday loans have also seen a massive surge that people are discovering that incresingly your paycheck is not going to last all month. Household expenses have increased dramatically, with the average film-goer families to spend £ 1,000 more on groceries this year than last year, the grant of payday loans an attractive and sometimes necessary option.

MoneySupermarket, another price comparison site has seen an increase of 55% the number of people who take payday loans since last September when the credit crunch hit.

Payday loans have a maximum 30 days period and a typical interest rate of 25 percent. Tim Moss, head of loans at MoneySupermarket urges borrowers to avoid loans payday.

He said: "The rise in payday loans symbolizes how people are finding difficult to cope, as disposable income is being squeezed through increases in the cost of food, fuel, utilities and general living needs. "

"However, that should be taken only when absolutely necessary and you are sure you can return the money quickly. Anyone looking for a credit long term or can not pay the debt immediately, should steer clear. "
