Interesting questions on @MartinSLewis @itvMLshow re FCA personal loan forbearance & who it applies to.

Key is FCA definition of personal loan:

For the purposes of this guidance, personal loan refers to a regulated credit agreement, secured (other than on land) or unsecured
#1

that is not a high-cost short term credit agreement, buy now pay later agreement, hire purchase agreement (including motor finance), credit card or overdraft.

#2

So DOES apply to personal loans, except #CreditUnion loans as they are not regulated.

DOES NOT apply to short term high cost credit, buy now pay later, HP, credit cards or overdrafts

#3

Credit cards and overdrafts are covered under separate guidance, so sorted.

#4

So @TheFCA @MartinSLewis @itvMLshow what about high-cost short term credit (e.g. payday), buy now pay later and hire purchase which seem to be left out?

Many #CreditUnions applying forbearance, as it& #39;s the right thing to do to support members. But what about these others?
