LONDON, March 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Figures released by the Bank of England indicate that the average debt per
household in the United Kingdom
stands to £8,000 approximately, excluding mortgages.
This sort of debt can consist of multiple types of credit being
accessed at once, such as credit card balances and charges as well
as repayments due on personal loans, student loans and utility
bills.
In a bid to educate as much of the UK consumer market as
possible on how it could practice effective credit management,
MyCreditMonitor, a credit score and credit report provider, has
launched a new information centre on its website.
Customers and new visitors alike will be able to access all the
content in this centre that covers a range of credit-related
topics, including: credit, credit scores, credit reports, loans and
mortgages.
According to a research survey conducted by Affinion
International, of which MyCreditMonitor is a brand, in conjunction
with retail analyst firm Conlumino [September 2014], from the 2,002 consumers
surveyed:
- 49.5% said it would be helpful to know more about the steps
they could take to manage their credit profiles
- 67.6% said that they did not take any steps to manage their
credit profiles
- 72.5% said that they did not know what their credit score
was.
Jenny Walker, Product Marketing
Manager at MyCreditMonitor, says: "A lot of our customer feedback
and reviews suggest to us that there is a clear need for the
markets concerned to provide guidance to consumers on credit-based
issues. Our team has been working hard to set up a new information
centre on our website, for both our customers and new visitors
alike, to be able to access the guidance that they are looking for,
but may be afraid to ask, or simply do not know who to ask
about.
In the coming months, our aim is to publish more resources that
inform and guide our audience base and thereby help increase their
credit awareness levels."
You can access the information centre by clicking on the
'Resources' tab on the MyCreditMonitor website, in which you will
also find links to its blog, news releases, infographics, animated
videos and FAQ videos too.
