Airing on NPR’s Planet Money on December 13, 2025, Vito Emanuel talks to NCLC Associate Director and Director of Federal Advocacy Lauren Saunders about how more shoppers are choosing to buy now, pay later this holiday season. Saunders warns it’s easy to borrow too much and lose track of how much you’re paying and when you’ll be paying it.
“All those debts add up in a way that’s not easily visible. You don’t get a simple, clear statement showing how much credit you’ve taken out when your payments are due.”
