What about the alternative to ISAs proposed by OP?
Better than an ISA is an income-dependent loan with some minimum amount that must be paid back regardless of the program outcome.
With this setup:
1. You concede and comply with the existing regulation
2. You get access to the existing capital markets so financing costs come down
3. You can use credit reports as a way to enforce the contract so collection rates go up
4. Consumers already understand debt
And, most importantly, the consumer gets a better deal than a classical loan.
Similarly a bad idea relative to plain old federal loans?
- twblalock 5y agoFederal student loans already have income-based repayment options, along with forbearances and public-service loan forgiveness options. I don't see how this proposal is a better deal.
- ummonk 5y agoIt’s basically a proposal to do the same thing for private loans. Unlike the federal government, the originator of a private loan will care about repayment rates, thus somewhat aligning incentives.
