Barrow Cadbury funded project investigating High Cost Short Term Credit and regulation by @DrAppleyard @CBiS_CovUni & @CarlPackman @FinHealthEx #PaydayFutures
@DrAppleyard offers various recommendations for how to address irresponsible lending - including more affordable credit products, feasibility of no interest loans scheme as found in Australia, or guidelines for debt agencies for helping decliners @UoBCHASM
Do loan sharks benefit directly from decliners from pay day lenders ? Not clear is any research in this area - questions to @DrAppleyard on her impact on decliners at @UoBCHASM seminar today
Very pleased to have @DrAppleyard presenting joint work with @ToynbeeHall to us today on fall out from payday lending restrictions over last few years - right policy but what about the impact on users of these loans?
The misselling in this industry is nothing short of scandalous:
“many loans had been mis-sold to people who could not afford to pay them back ... former customers could be entitled to up to £223m in compensation, including interest.” https://t.co/8wm24vCRKV @PeacheyK
We are excited to announce the publication of our new report on declined applicants of payday loans- concluding research from @CBiS_CovUni & @ToynbeeHall discussing financial exclusion & ground-up solutions to promote financial resilience #affordablecredit https://t.co/TtjADYyObI
Also points out the “ikea effect” within service innovation: over-appreciating something you’ve designed yourself even if it’s shoddy #Financialhealth18
An excellent point made by @anna_luise (@TheFinanceLab) - we see little empathy in financial services today, and that we discuss cognitive biases in our sector as though it was only consumers that have them, not people within financial services. #Financialhealth18
