How borrowing works locally

A broker arranges credit but does not lend, and the lender remains the party that makes the decision.

Debt management plans are administered by accredited credit counsellors, and they are not loans. A lender is free to set its own price below the legal ceiling, and it does so according to the risk it reads in the file.
