Data through January 2012, released by S&P Indices and Experian for the S&P/Experian Consumer Credit Default Indices, showed that default rates on first mortgages declined for the first time in five months in January, helping to contribute to an overall decline in U.S. consumer-credit defaults. In January, overall credit defaults declined to 2.16% from 2.24% in December. The first-mortgage defaults rate dropped to 2.08% from 2.19% a month earlier. Since first-mortgage loans are the largest of consumer loans, their default rates typically drive the combined rate, David M. Blitzer, managing director and chairman of the Index Committee for S&P Indices explains. Defaults on second mortgages eased to 1.3% from 1.33% and bank credit cards were down at 4.57% from 4.6%.
