LONDON (UK) – Britain’s markets watchdog on Friday proposed enabling consumers to extend a payment freeze on their credit cards by three months. This comes as part of measures to support borrowers in difficulties due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Those who had not yet asked for a payment freeze on credit cards or for an interest-free overdraft of up to 500 pounds could also seek one up until Oct 31, the Financial Conduct Authority said in a statement.
