Hello my Friend it is so annoying these institutions seem like laws unto theirselfs0 -
Totally, they are more than willing to throw money at you instead of addressing the problem. I take full responsibility for my debt, but the banks have a duty of care their customers and should be lending more responsibly!!0

Guys
The banks did not hold a gun to your head, you chose to borrow money.
In regards to your debt, the law allows everyone a second chance, that is why old debt, defaults etc drop off your record after 6 years so even if you never paid a penny back, a new lender will not see that so you can move on in life. However, banks do keep records of debtors as it means they lost money and while they can no longer enforce the debt , if you did not pay back money in the past and then try and claim back money from them, do you not see it is fair and logical that, if they can do so, the banks would use your refund to pay off the money?
If you lend me £100 and I don't pay it back, but then I remember you owe me £50 for some work I did, would you honestly give me the £50? That is basically what you are asking the banks to do.Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:

A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

That's us told then. Unfortunately in life we make bad choices. At the time I felt that I had no other option but to take a loan. When things got bad, I did approach the bank for help/advice, but to no avail. Entering into a trust deeds was not a decision I made lightly. I have learned a hard life lesson. The bank have admitted liability for mis-selling ppi to me. It does seem as though, while admitting they were wrong, they are still going to recompense themselves for their bad practices.0

Possibly as records may not be perfect in all cases. However, the fact is that if they have records of an unpaid debt, they are allowed to use it against that.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0 -
