The country's financial watchdog has proposed a package of measures to help consumers who are facing high-cost credit charges.

One of the main suggestions is a cap on prices in the household goods rent-to-own sector, with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) saying a consumer renting an essential such as an electric cooker costing £300 could end up with a £1,500 bill.

The FCA said it had "identified a need to intervene to protect financially vulnerable consumers in this market".
Also for consideration on the table is a ban on the sale of extended warranties at the point of purchase, which the watchdog said could save consumers up to £7.7m each year.

Ciekawe. Niezłych Żydów mają tam w tym UK. U nas też są aż tak lichwiarskie pożyczki? O ile się nie mylę, to żeby trzeba było za 300 zł pożyczki oddać 1500 zł, to to chyba jest kurde pożyczka na 500%. Do jasnej ciasnej Anielki, masakra.
