I previously wrote to MAS to complain abt the low approval rates frm bank and this is their "STANDARD RESPONSE" ... BS la.. I also know all these....
We seek your understanding that the Debt Consolidation Plan (DCP) is an industry program coordinated by the Association of Banks in Singapore (ABS) to assist borrowers. It is a commercial product offered by participating financial institutions (FIs) to eligible borrowers according to their internal credit assessment criteria. As such, MAS is unable to intervene in the FIs’ commercial decision to grant the plan as they bear the risk of lending.
However, if you require assistance in paying down your debts, we would encourage you to continue applying to other participating DCP FIs, or consider engaging Credit Counselling Singapore (CCS). CCS helps a borrower recover from debt problems by providing general credit management information and credit counselling, and where applicable, developing a debt repayment plan with the borrower’s creditor FIs. You may wish to contact CCS for further details on 6225 5227.
We hope the above information is of assistance.
