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.
