Enforce payment break on all credit lending (loans, credit cards and facilities)
To enforce payment break for all credit facilities until Covid19 restrictions are lifted. You have closed non essential businesses, yet you allow credit companies still to profit at a time where every penny counts.
To help the UK get through this and to limit the economic and financial impact on the people of the country. I myself have spend 6 to 9 hours on hold to lenders and unable to speak so anyone. I won’t be alone. Online and digital services do not help either. Enforce the payment break on all credit facilities until Covid19 restrictions are lifted with immediate effect. People can simply cancel their payments and hold onto vital money’s to help their families survive.
