so Interest rates up again = higher monthly PCP, HP payments. Higher mortgages & less disposable income for people.

I think there will come a time in another few years where we will look back at this 10 year period and be astounded that folk were driving such expensive cars and earning so little!!

Not surprised really, the banks dropping interest rates to stimulate the economy and raise gdp is not going to work long term.

Massive crash coming according to some well respected economists & financial experts.

A lot of people have got so used to suckling the teat of cheap credit that they think it's normal.

I can remember the last time that went tits up and a lot of people got burned.

I've never been tempted to load up on cheap credit.

I find it amazing that people would be signficantly impacted with a 2% increase let alone a 0.25% one.

People just need to look at themselves.

One 25 basis point rise and the smug factor goes to 11. Presumably if interests rates normalised people would fill their pants with excitement.

If people could predict the market, people would make a killing and the market would disappear up it's own rear end.

If a 0.25% interest rate which has been on the cards for a good few years causes anyone any problems then they've over borrowed in the first place (extenuating circumstances such as health excepted). It's people that over borrow that cause price rises due to increase demand and get bailed out when everything goes tits up anyway. As someone who saves up till he can afford something, I say good, it's about bloody time.

Apart from mortgages and maybe credit cards, why do you think things like an existing PCP will suddenly go up in price? Affordability I get, but PCH, PCP, HP are all pre agreed rates for the term surely?

New deals will go up when the rate takes effect
In addition to this there is already alarm about the level of defaults and non payment . The rates will propably be increased for the banks to cover themselves

What a stupid idea anyway Take a business product available to companies that can reclaim the expenses , tax and vat . Repackage it for low income people that cant really afford it

Your banks forecasting team will have built in today's rise into your agreed rate from yesterday (and any other forecasted rises over your fixed rate period)

No one in the financial world is surprised by the extra 0.25%
