"With positive GDP now being reported along with an expectation that the national saving rate will drift downward in the fourth quarter, TransUnion sees its year-end forecast for 90-day credit card delinquency rate remaining steady at approximately 1.1 percent nationally, with a possible drift upward in the beginning of 2010," Ezra Becker, director of consulting and strategy in TransUnion's financial services group, said. growth for the third quarter came in at an annually-adjusted rate of 3.5 percent.
