creditors

United Kingdom

We must make people more aware of the facts about debt, consolidation loans, credit cards, store cards, mortgages, car finance etc, pretty much anyone can get credit.

Creditors make you feel as if you are getting a good deal, when all the while they are deceiving you to line there own pockets. The facts need to be made clear to us. Such as it takes 45 years to pay off a credit card whilst making minimum payments.

My purpose of this petition is for the government to make a new law where the real facts of debt are made clear to you before you sign up.

A simple fact sheet given out with a loan application would stop many of us from making the mistake of ruining our lives. Ciggarettes have a warning on the pack making us aware of the consequences. We need a warning from creditors because they ruin lives.
