From Which? website:

The FCA says lenders should ensure the temporary measures don’t impact credit reports and scores. Meanwhile, the UK’s three main Credit Reference Agencies (CRAs) have pledged to protect credit scores during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Furlough for 3 months was a one off. Any longer then government will be taking money like Roosevelt did with gold. Or something similar. Someone will have to pay for this. A payment holiday is a short term fix while the powers at be see how the land lies and have a think. Jmo.. I'm dreading the flu season in October. At least it's summer which is a plus. We have time to plan but payment holiday is just that. Then what?

Jhon32 Agreed it's long term. I've said before - I'm fully expecting it to cost me beyond the slight loss of income right now. Let's hope the Times Rich List do their bit too.
