Certain groups of consumers find it difficult to obtain credit and loans because of their professional and/or private situation. Especially students, freelancers and unemployed people are considered “difficult” customer groups. This does not mean that these customer groups are generally excluded from the credit market. But what possibilities are there for obtaining credit for those consumer groups?
