With the ongoing credit crunch constantly burning holes in our cash holders, the cash borrowing deals we are currently being offered are not what they used to be. This is due to the lenders tightening their criteria for borrowing money with the deals we are used to now becoming a thing of the past.

First it was the 100% mortgage and now it looks to be the 0% interest on credit cards which could now be coming to an end. These deals usually enable us to survive comfortably financially, but with things changing, our options are being reduced more and more making it harder to prolong our financial stability.

With our options limiting and the need for cash at a high, we are being cornered into making pressured decisions with no thought. Subsequently this is landing us into more trouble.

Doorstep lenders have seen an increase of 34% in loans taken out for the 1st half of the year. This is due to people being refused for loans elsewhere, also, the fact that people need to take out additional loans to combat the rising interest rates.

The largest rise this year came from a leading high street lender who increased their interest rates by 5% resulting in a total interest rate of 12.9%.

People who are taking out additional loans to pay off the increased rates are now also turning to car finance companies who have seen a huge increase in business this year.
