Consumer groups and politicians are joining forces to launch a charter to combat the rising tide of high-cost credit and the spiralling debt crisis
A major alliance of consumer and anti-poverty charities – including Which?, the Centre for Responsible Credit, StepChange, the debt advice charity, and Church Action on Poverty (CAP), backed by a cross-party group of MPs led by Labour's Paul Blomfield – will launch a charter next week calling on the government to tackle the "bad products and bad practices" of the high-cost credit market and avert the growing crisis of "broke Britain".
