Adam Morghem, Strategy and Marketing Director at Premium Credit said, “Our research shows that many people have spent a fortune on stockpiling goods ahead of the March date, but are now using these items due to cost implications and its impact on cash flow.

“With the new Brexit deadline fast approaching, we can expect customers to face similar pressure on the home budget and their everyday cost of living, with more looking for efficient ways to spread the cost we can expect more to turn to credit for help.”
