The outlook in consumer finance is bleak, Moody's Investors Service said in a report Tuesday, as the economy has likely slipped into recession and lenders struggle with bad credit.

Consumer finance companies -- credit-card lenders, auto lenders and student lenders -- likely face a "relatively mild recession" the first half of this year, Moody's said.

Lenders also face the risk the economy may suffer more severely than expected, Moody's said. A recovery depends on the stabilization of financial markets, a rebound in housing and the direction of energy prices, Moody's said.
