S&P Credit Research
| Abstract: | Consumer credit outstanding dropped $14.8 billion (7.2% at an annual rate) in September--more than the market's expectation of a $10 billion drop. Revolving credit (credit cards) fell $9.9 billion--the 12th consecutive decline--while nonrevolving credit (mostly car loans) fell $4.9 billion. The decline in nonrevolving credit was a surprise, since we had expected some of the August "clunker" sales to add to September debt levels. The data show that consumers remain nervous about borrowing (and banks remain nervous about lending). Household debt has now fallen $103.3 billion since the end of 2008.
