The growing online high cost consumer credit arena and its impact on lower-income consumers

The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now Canada (ACORN) will examine the experience of lower-income consumers in the online high-cost credit market. ACORN will study what online lending options exist for lower-income consumers, to what extent and why they are used and how these options compare to financing offered by mainstream financial institutions.
