NEW YORK, July 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- There is little interest in a new consumer credit product being offered by banks to help customers restore credit ratings battered by the financial crisis, according to a new survey from the Deloitte Center for Financial Services. Despite heavy marketing by banks, only 4 percent of first-time defaulters - an emerging customer segment Deloitte is tracking - are extremely interested in obtaining a secured credit card according to the survey. A secured credit card requires consumers to make a deposit against a line of credit on the account or is linked to a savings account and that is designed to help them improve their credit ratings. Overall, less than 1 in 5 consumers in the segment (18 percent) have any real interest in the product.

Earlier this month, the Wall Street Journal reported that large banks are raising fees in an attempt to generate revenue amid the economic crisis. For instance, Citibank recently began charging customers a $10 overdraft protection transfer fee to transfer money from a savings account or line of credit to cover a checking account with insufficient funds. Other banks are raising fees for overdrafts and bounced checks where there's no approved account for transfers. One of the biggest fees tends to be for insufficient funds," said Ken Greenberg, president of Austin & Williams, a Hauppauge marketing agency with a concentration in the financial industry. As quoted in the Journal, a recent study by Moebs Services Inc., an economic research firm in Chicago, found that banks with more than $20...

Three years after budget reductions buried it, lawmakers are exhuming the remains of a social services plan that melded the efforts of government agencies. Families, Agencies and Communities Together for Children and Youth at Risk was a casualty of the 2002 round of state budget cutbacks. Lawmakers had to slash programs, take money from the state savings account and freeze employees' wages to balance the bottom line. The law that created it is scheduled to sunset next month.
