Responsible lending and high-cost credit – does the cost-cap on payday loans really protect consumers?

Research output: Contribution to JournalArticle

Abstract

This article analyses the extent to which product regulation, in the form of a price cap, protects consumers in the UK credit market. Considering the demise of pay day loans, the paper explores the alternatives for those priced-out of the market by the cost cap; exploring, specifically, whether these alternatives are, in fact, better for consumers.
