Comment: Credit Card Providers Targeting Vulnerable Customers

Today’s findings from the Citizen’s Advice Bureau – that credit card companies are targeting customers struggling with debt, with one in five seeing their credit limit automatically increased – is wholly unacceptable. Debt, when unmanaged, can be a deeply stressful issue, weighing on people’s minds and impacting all aspects of their lives – from work, to family life and relationships.

Clearly there is more to be done by financial institutions to ensure their customers are equipped with the tools to successfully manage their money.
