‘Following last week’s moratorium imposed by the Financial Conduct Authority in relation to credit card debts, overdrafts and personal loans, the FCA is imposing a similar moratorium on hire-purchase (annoyingly referred to by the trendy term ‘rent-to-own’), high-cost short-term credit (payday loans), buy-nowpay-later deals (BNPL) and pawn agreements.’
