Your options for borrowing money (plus a super top tip energy update)

According to historical data from the Bank of England's Money and Credit reports, consumer credit net borrowing spikes significantly in late autumn, known as the November Spike. Net consumer borrowing through credit cards, car finance, and personal loans consistently experiences a sharp acceleration in November. This is primarily fuelled by aggressive retail promotions and early festive spending. However, we start to think about borrowing in the summer.

Most of us need to borrow money at some point in our lives. Using the right type of credit in the best way can help you deal with unexpected expenses, such as buying a new fridge, or planned expenses such as festive holidays. Find out what to consider first, to make sure you make the right decision.
