Answer:

The good aspects of consumer credit:

It would allow people to buy now what they might not have the money for immediately.

If the borrowing is used to invest in generating income or building marketable skills (education) it could more than pay back what is owed.

Down sides:

The money must be paid back with interest.

Borrowing may encourage people to buy more than they really can afford.
