In a weak economy where credit is tight, much attention has been paid to various loan types — from mortgages and auto loans to credit cards — and whether cash-strapped consumers are having a difficult time obtaining and affording them.

Considerably less attention has been given to credit insurance, something a growing number of consumers might be considering buying but may not know much about. The state Department of Insurance is urging individuals to research their options before making any decisions.

The worst part of a financial crisis is that it squeezes the availability of credit in the market and therefore reduces funds for the industries and individuals. Many of us are surviving under threat of being laid off or have already been laid off as the companies are shrinking in size. This again would increase the number of loan defaulter in the economy. Credit insurance, IMO, can help us in breaking this vicious cycle of vanishing funds since it would ensures the repayment of loan to the financier.

I agree with you Jeremy that credit insurance can be the answer to this ongoing financial problem. If more number of people would have had the credit insurances at place, they wouldn't have ended up in this situation, but tell me one thing that do you really think that credit insurance worth their values? I mean often time the insurance that the lienholder tags along with the loan is over priced and insufficient to cater to the needs of the buyer. What are the aspects that the buyer need to keep in mind while selecting the right type of coverage?

Hey anonymous, I think that are wishing in vain that people would be sensible to buy the coverage they need to protect themselves properly. I know of persons who would live and die in debt. They think they have the right to get loans but aren't responsible to pay back. These people mainly have contributed to our current financial dismay. They went out to get mortgage loans with their stinking credit with little or no intention to repay the loan they have taken. And the bank too went out helping these people in the greed of more profit. The outcome is in front of you Mad
