Stores Stricter On Credit Than U.S. Requires
Washington April 20 AP Many retailers and lenders are stricter on installment credit terms than government regulations require. The Federal Reserve Board said stricter terms are most notable in used autos furniture radios and household appliances. The board noted a minimum down payment and a maximum payoff period, while dealers may demand more stringent terms. Installment credit outstanding stands at about 8.0 billion, a small share of disposable income, with debt rising faster than repayment. The board urged continuation of credit control beyond June 30, a move supported by President Truman to sustain economic activity.
