I guess this is part of the cost of lending to people with no credit histories. The other part includes big bonuses to salespeople.

I'm thinking that Mervyn should use the IR tool for the purposes it was designed for and not be panicked into short term measures.

These are the guys who've created the credit monster, but much as they may be to blame, the banks are still going to need them to sort out the mess. The people with degrees in history, classics, etc. aren't going to be much use!

Plus there will be money to be made in buying up these near worthless credit carcasses, again a job for the PhDs who can understand the mess.
