TransUnion: National Credit Card Delinquencies Increase, but Remain Near Record Low Levels

CHICAGO, IL, Nov 15, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- The national credit card delinquency rate (the ratio of borrowers 90 or more days past due) increased in the third quarter for the first time since the fourth quarter of 2009, edging upward to 0.71 percent. Average credit card debt per borrower increased $63 in the quarter to $4,762, though it remains near record-low levels. This information is reported by TransUnion and is part of its ongoing series of quarterly analyses of credit-active U.S. consumers, evaluating how they are managing credit related to mortgages, credit cards and auto loans.

The Q3 2011 TransUnion data released today show credit card delinquency rates rising from the historic lows of last quarter. "This is the first quarterly increase we've seen in almost two years," said Ezra Becker, vice president of research and consulting in TransUnion's financial services business unit. "Even so, we are still well below historical norms. In fact, we're at the second lowest delinquency rate nationwide that we've seen in the past 16 years.

US economic data inspires cautious optimism

Economic indicators in the US are showing signs of recovery, despite the Federal Reserve’s unwillingness to take the steps needed to curtail the budget deficit, according to Julius Baer.

A household would never run its budget the way the US government does, said Mark Matthews, a managing director at the boutique private bank. If the US were a household with an annual family income of $21,700 (its gross domestic product), it would be spending $38,200 every year. Despite an outstanding credit card bill of $142,710, it is still adding new debt of $16,500 annually — and through painful efforts it recently achieved a budget cut of $385.

There has been some improvement in the jobless numbers, but unemployment has been above 9% for 28 months now. That is its longest slump since 1945.
