Millions of drivers could see their finance payments suspended for three months under new rules just announced by city watchdog the FCA.
But they aren't the only ones set to benefit - with payment holidays also announced covering rent-to-own, payday loand and even buy-now-pay-later arrangements and pawnbrokers.
The proposals from the watchdog are designed to plug the rather large gaps spotted in plans to make sure people don't lose out permenantly as a result of the coronavirus lockdown.
There are already schemes in place to protect renters fro evictions and offer homeowners mortgage breaks if their income is affected, but now people with almost any form of credit should be safe.
