Worse still, it doesn't appear in the crime figures because swindling people is perfectly legal for banks and insurers.
I have phoned various banks on numerous occasions only to find out that the computer records have been falsified.

Originally posted by Paddy View PostEven worse is that the law is tipped in favour of financial institutions and when the law protecting financial institutions is not good enough for their purposes they forge documents and bribe judges. Just one example of this is going on in the USA where lenders have been caught out forging thousands of documents to get foreclosures in circumstances that were not valid.

Originally posted by Troll View PostI got caught out by that as well.... I was after 100k life only policy to provide for the family if anything happened to me - My financial advisor suggested a policy written in trust which would cover until age 65... I thought that meant 100k cover until 65.... missed the small print which gave them the right to review cover against premiums after every 10 years.... 100k cover is now 65k & another review in 5 years ho fookin hum

I have worked for banks and pointed out faults in their systems. At one bank there was a bug in that some letters and statements for customers would not be printed. I still wonder today how much hardship it had caused customers in not recieving them. The Bank kept quiet about the error."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment
