Abstract

This article aims to analyze the use of credit services, checking amounts contracted as payroll-deductible loans, credit card limits and credit facilities through a quantitative field research with fifty-two elderly participants of a senior citizen’s program in the city of Viçosa, MG, Brazil. We verified the autonomy of these senior citizens when contracting credit as well as their constant need for this type of service.
