Personal loan balances down 11%

The public has started to reduce its personal debt pile- with personal loan balances having been reduced some 11% since February 08.

In addition – and following previous blogs re the Banks liquidity positions deposits only grew £326m in the first 5 months of this year compared to a growth of £15bn in the first 5 months of 2008; much lower credit interest rates plays a part ( and notwithstanding the Government guarantee now for deposits) links with pervious blogs- that we are pulling credit balances out to live on and perhaps reduce debt.
