    Response to the FCA's High-Cost Credit

    FCA high-cost credit call for input Citizens Advice response Contents Summary 2 About Citizens Advice 5 Part 1 - High cost credit - wider issues 6 Part 2 - Overdrafts 18 Part 3 - The current state of the HCSTC market 23 Part 4 - Consumers and HCSTC use 24 Part 5 - The scope of the price cap 32 Part 6 - Repeat and multiple borrowing 33 1 Summary The regulation of high-cost short-term credit has been positive for consumers Since the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) introduced tougher regulations in the payday lending market, the number of people with unmanageable payday loan debts has more than halved. Problems seen by Citizens Advice have fallen from over 10,000 a quarter at their peak to just over 4,000 now. That is partly because the market is different; there are fewer lenders and fewer customers. But it is also because the market is delivering better outcomes. Between January 2015 and April 2016 the number of loans which incurred default charges halved, from 16% to 8%, and the proportion in arrears for more than seven days fell by a quarter, from 16% to 12%. Consumers are also paying less to borrow. In 2014, the average consumer paid £100 in interest and charges to their payday lender. They now pay £60, despite the average loan amount remaining relatively stable at £250. That has not led to equal detriment in other areas Tougher regulation of high-cost short-term credit (HCSTC) has not led to negative unintended consequences: ● Access to credit - We found around 8% of customers who had previously used ​ ​ a payday loan had been declined following the cap.

    Douglas Oakervee Independent Chair, Oakervee Review Department for Transport Albany House 94-98 Petty France London SW1H 9EA

    Douglas Oakervee Independent Chair, Oakervee Review Department for Transport Albany House 94-98 Petty France London SW1H 9EA Dear Douglas Oakervee Review Submission from Greater Manchester Parliamentarians As members of the Greater Manchester All Party Parliamentary Group (GM APPG) we wanted to welcome your review on the future of HS2 and to ensure that the collective views of Greater Manchester Parliamentarians are considered and taken on board. Greater Manchester MPs of all parties work collaboratively to provide a strong voice for the city- region in Westminster, working alongside the Mayor and local business and political leaders to help maximise future investment and growth for the benefit of the communities throughout Greater Manchester. We want to emphasise the following key points: After decades of underinvestment in strategic rail infrastructure and transport in the North, HS2 and Northern Powerhouse Rail, if combined with a clear commitment to much needed investment in our intra city transport networks, will provide the basis for a once-in-a-generation programme to secure the levels of investment and productivity in our northern cities that is essential to transform the North’s economic output and the life chances of residents here. Given the scale of the challenge to rebalance and level-up the UK, the GMAPPG strongly believes that choices cannot be made between HS2 and Northern Powerhouse Rail. Only by delivering the two initiatives together, as a future strategic rail network can we achieve the transformational economic outcomes that we share with Government. In making our case we would urge your team to consider the following points: • The full and timely delivery of Northern Powerhouse Rail (NPR) and HS2 Phase 2b is central to Greater Manchester’s wider ambitions for the role of rail in city-region growth.

    BILLS of SALE a Summary of the Law Commission's Recommendations To

    BILLS OF SALE A summary of the Law Commission's recommendations to reform the law of logbook loans and of other loans secured on goods Law Com No 369 (Summary) – September 2016 THE LAW COMMISSION Bills of Sale OVERVIEW This document summarises Law Commission report No 369, Bills of Sale. The Bills of Sale Acts are archaic Victorian statutes, which are wholly unsuited for modern credit arrangements such as logbook loans. They should be repealed in their entirety. The Law Commission recommends a new Goods Mortgages Act to: • Provide appropriate protection to borrowers, so that vehicles are not seized too readily; • Protect innocent purchasers who buy vehicles without realising that they are subject to a bill of sale; • Save £2m of costs caused by unnecessary registration and red tape; and • Remove unnecessary restrictions on secured lending to small businesses. If the Government accepts these recommendations, the next stage would be for the Law Commission to draft a Bill. We hope this Bill could be introduced into Parliament under the special procedure for uncontroversial Law Commission Bills. A copy of the full report is available on the Law Commission’s website at http://www.lawcom.gov.uk/project/bills-of-sale/.
