Me and maybe you and many people have debts we have racked up with the banks and now need help to manage.
Of course the banking industry is in debt to the government (i.e. the tax money of each one of us) to the tune of BILLIONS of pounds.
Our kids education and our health service and loads of other stuff is being cut whilst the banking industry is bailed out AND chasing countless numbers of people for debts of hundreds or thousands of pounds.
So, we pay them with our tax,
then pay them back what we owe, when we can, after the the tax is taken
and in the process get bombarded with letters and phone calls and bullying and threats,
...and then they want us to pay them horrendous interest and charges on top.
Is it me or this wholesale daylight robbery?
