An Analysis of Finnish Debtors Who Defaulted in 2014–2016 Because of Unsecured Credit Products

Abstract: Consumer credit has become an important element of the economy despite the negative effects: Over-indebtedness has wide-ranging repercussions affecting consumers and society as a whole. We analysed the debt judgements (N = 4,095) of Finnish district courts from 2014 to 2016, as well as administrative data on debtors.

“…Arkielämän finansialisaation kääntöpuolena ovat yleistyneet velkaongelmat (Majamaa & Lehtinen 2022), joiden yhtenä mittarina ovat maksuhäiriömerkinnät. Vuonna 2023 noin 350 000 suomalaisella oli maksuhäiriömerkintä ja niiden määrä on viime vuosina pysynyt korkeana (Asiakastieto Oy 2024).…”
