Portuguese term or phrase: credito pessoal
The sentence it is in is;

Devido à crise internacional, está-se a assistir a uma alteração no comportamento das famílias portuguesas com estas a voltarem-se para o crédito especializado para aquisição de artigos para o lar e menos para o crédito pessoal e automóvel.

I don't really understand the context, i thought it meant "personal credit", however when translated into english it sounds wrong.
