Citizens Advice responds to FCA report on credit card market

26 Gorffennaf 2016

Today, Citizens Advice responds to the Financial Conduct Authority's final findings report on the credit card market. 

Citizens Advice Chief Executive Gillian Guy, said:

“Too many people are paying over the odds for their credit card debts.

“Paying off the minimum amount on credit card bills each month means people are stuck in cycles of debt for much longer - while interest charges rack up.

“The FCA’s report rightly highlights that banks could do more to help customers repay their debts more quickly where possible.

“In the last year local Citizens Advice helped people with over 140,000 credit card debt issues. If you are struggling with your finances, it is important to get free debt and money advice as soon as possible to find a way forward and avoid spiralling debts.”
