sudo42,

I assume they’re complaining about this “phantom debt” that they can’t see? It’s behind a firewall, so they’re hiding the article where I can’t see. /s

BNPL (Buy Now Pay Later) debts not recorded with credit agencies, so no idea how much.

I have zero idea why this is collapse related but here we are.

eleitl,

Global Financial Crisis 2 is definitely a fast component in the overall collapse process. Unaccounted consumer debt is a useful facet of a diagnostic. We don’t know where exactly the spark will originate that will blow up GFC2. It could as well start there, though it’s not very probable.

CaptObvious,

So basically Wells Fargo can’t deal with layaway?

Wells Fargo estimates that there’s about $46 billion dollars in phantom debt, and that’s just from "Buy Now, Pay Later.” And that’s just in the US alone.

melisdrawing,

That is insane. It implies over $100 in debt to BNPL per capita.
