Payday loans in the United States

The number of people with unpaid consumer loans and credit card payments declined by 11.6 percent last year from 2022 to 1.32 million, according to data Encazip compiled.

In 2022, nearly 1.5 million people failed to make consumer loans and credit card payments, according to the numbers of the Turkish Banks Association's (TBB) Risk Center.

The European Commission said on Thursday it has accepted Greece's plan to protect the primary residencies of debtors who cannot repay their mortgage loan.

"The Commission concluded that, with respect to individuals, including those performing an economic activity, the measure does not involve any state aid," it said in a press release.

Greeks are resorting to negative interest rates, taking their money out of local lenders and placing it in foreign bank accounts – in effect choosing to pay a premium for the protection of their capital.
