Notes:

[a] These series may be affected by securitisations and loan transfers up to December 2009.

[b] The Office for National Statistics have recently completed a review of the Credit Grantors Survey and have re-examined the assumptions underlying this series. This has decreased the amount outstanding of credit card lending by £2bn and the amount outstanding of other unsecured lending by £8bn in January 2010. Flows of gross and net lending were not significantly affected. (31 Jan 2010)

[c] Due to changes to reporting of securitised loans, along with related liabilities, the amount outstanding of this series has decreased by £5bn. The movement has been adjusted out of the flows for January 2010. For further details please see http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/statistics/documents/ms/articles/art1feb10.pdf. (31 Jan 2010)

[d] Due to a restructuring of a reporting institution, amounts outstanding of lending by MFIs have fallen by £4bn, and amounts outstanding of lending by OSLs have increased by £4bn. This movement has been adjusted out of the flows for January 2010. (31 Jan 2010)

[e] Due to a population change during December 2010 there was a switch of credit card lending from the MFI sector to the other specialist lenders' sector.
