Pay Back

The Banks and other financial institutions have treated both borrowers and savers appallingly, and continue to do so. How can we punish them?

Good suggestions please, but keep it clean and legal

    I've not been treated appallingly by any financial institution in recent times. Lloyds have been unreasonable a couple of times in the distant past so I am enjoying a certain schadenfreude at their current misfortune. Other than that, nothing. In fact, YBS were rather lovely and helpful a few years ago when I needed some help.

    Nor have I. I'm not sure what the OP is referring to, nor how on earth he thinks he can 'punish' a large institution for some imagined failing.

    What an odd post I'm obviously misunderstanding somehting or other.

    Why should any business be punished for making money when that is what they are there to do, whether or not we like it?
