Consumer Affairs Minister, Edward Davey has announced a review of consumer credit and personal insolvency.  The review will cover:

  • How consumers enter into credit commitments, including the way in which credit is sold and the extent to which consumers understand what they are committing to;
  • What issues arise during the lifetime of a loan from both the consumer and the lender perspectives; and
  • What happens if things go wrong: are the current insolvency solutions fit for purpose?

A consultation on specific proposals is anticipated later this year or early 2011.
