Having a poor credit history and rating is nothing unusual these days, and due to the levels of consumer debt in the UK many people have found themselves in this situation as a result of missed or late repayments and defaults. Rising interest rates, low income, and increased cost of living costs, as well as other situations such as divorce, separation, or a change in employment circumstances, can all contribute to a person’s ability to keep up with their financial obligation, and factors such as this result in many people ending up with damaged credit each year.

Today four of the UK's largest banks are to be bailed out using around £50 billion worth of taxpayers' money. The money will be injected into the four banking giants as part of the government's recently announced rescue plan, with officials from the Treasury stating that the banks need to find the money in order to shore up their financial books.
The four banks that are to receive some of the bailout cash from the government are Lloyds TSB, HBOS, Barclays, and Royal Bank of Scotland. Whilst officials from the government are planning a more formal announcement of these plans banking giant Lloyds TSB has said that it wants a review of the terms of its HBOS takeover.
The report states that HBOS is being forced to raise up to £12 billion by the government, and in light of this Lloyds TSB wants it takeover fees to be smaller than originally planned. Like other banking shares, the shares of HBOS have plummeted since the Lloyds TSB takeover decision, which is another factor that is making Lloyds seek lower fees.
It is thought that as part of the £50 billion bailout, the Royal Bank of Scotland will get around £20 billion and Lloyds TSB will receive around £5 billion from the government. It is thought that there will be some sort of conditions put in place by the government, although it is not expected to appoint its own officials on the boards of the banks that are being financially aided.
What the government is likely to do is to insist on tighter controls on the pay of executives and try and encourage the banks that are being bailed out to start lending properly to consumers and small businesses. Yvette Cooper, chief secretary to the Treasury, stated: "What we're doing now is talking with all of the banks about how we implement the programme. We'll set out the sort of strings that will be attached on a case-by-case basis." more ....
