Surely its about time to keep an eye on banks more regulary. Could we have regulator inside all banks who then can oversee that banks business is legit.

The worry here is the thing did not comply to regulatory requirements. So even if we have regulations the flaunt them anyway.

How can we stop them. How many have lost businesses or how many lost jobs due to businesses struggling to meet costs.

This is great article highlighting how bad it makes you angry.

agreed banks are **** well those who do these things.

I had them trying push me to one those new accounts where you get charged for insurance etc. Read some not the deal people think they are somewhere and do your homework on what they offer.

I am sure there sinister reason why they want people to move to these accounts.

These customers were quite happy to benefit, until circumstances changed which the banks didn't know about at the time. It's a bit like taking out a variable rate mortgage on the assumption that rates will stay the same or go down, but instead for unseen reasons they go up sharply. You took a gamble and lost, simple as that.

In some ways I agree people see £££ think I will have some of that. Always saying if its too good to be true it usually is an its a scam.

Infact they no doubt sucked small businesses in as they struggling during these times. Businesses are desperate probably jumped in thinking they would save money.

However the banks just guilty hard selling and even misleading. In some cases at times shockingly blantant fabricating returns/benefits.

At times you either need to be lawyer or an accountant to find the catch.

In this incidence who to blame suppose they thought it being like the utilities deal where you can lock your tarrif. Which I even think this is scam from utilities. Lock enough in then suddenly drop it will leave millions in high tarrifs.

Sure this was banks idea from the off was easily able to achieve quite quickly.
