Press Release Summary: The credit crunch in the UK has led the lenders to tighten
their terms of approval when providing credit. This has impaired most consumers from
borrowing money and they are taking to alternate sources to get money which may be
unsuitable for them.

Press Release Body: The global credit crunch which affected the UK too last summer
has created a number of problems in finances for the common man who is out to seek
finance.

The credit crunch originated in the sub-prime mortgage sector in the US initially
gripped the county and has now taken a position in the financial market of the UK as
well. This credit crunch has affected the ability of the credit providers to provide
finance and also the consumers that they are not able to get the finance that they
require.

Almost all areas of the industry of finances have been affected. These include the
personal loans, unsecured loans, credit cards, consolidation loans and also
mortgages which are suffering most as thought by most people.

The implication of this has come out to be the lenders becoming very strict about
the procedure of approval. Very tight conditions are being applied in giving credit
and also, some products of finances have altogether disappeared from the market.

The accessibility to finances in decreasing and the cost of borrowing money is
increasing day by day. This has led most consumers to think that they are either not
eligible for these finances or cannot afford them altogether. Due to this, the
consumers are taking to other methods of raising money which are completely
unsuitable for them and they are even agreeing to even unfair demands and conditions
of some lenders.

Even though the rate of borrowing has been reviewed three times by the Bank of
England, the household costs are rising which include water, energy and council tax.
Also, there is a sharp rise in fuel prices as well as cost of food products and this
has strained household finance all the more.

To acquire credit has become very necessary for some consumers if they want to keep
afloat financially. The access to borrowing money has become very strict and this
has led the borrowers to seek alternative means which may prove highly unsuitable
and expensive for the consumers.
