FICO's latest analysis indicates rising debt risks among UK consumers, as missed payments increase despite seasonal spending upticks. In December 2021, the average credit card balance peaked at £1,550, while average card spending rose to £760, marking a 14% year-over-year increase. However, the percentage of accounts making full payments is declining, raising concerns amid rising living costs and inflation.

Lenders are advised to monitor payment behaviors closely as financial pressures mount.
