Insights
This study provides a framework for for classifying consumer financial products as outlined in ThickCredit content.
Full Abstract
"The toolkit has information that helps you have money conversations with the people you serve. Use the tools to help achieve goals and work through challenges.
You can use the toolkit to help people make spending decisions that can help them reach their goals, order and fix credit reports, make decisions about repaying debts and taking on new debt, keep track of their income and bills."
Limitations
There are no inherent limitations to the content in the toolkit, but we think the CFPB's classification hinders borrowers creative use of the products at their disposal by oversimplifying the differences between products whose purposes are similar but whose structures differ sharply.
