The banks won the 2009 court case on "unfair charges", you will not be able to complain about historic issues. Unfortunately this is something that needed to be done at the time when the hardship started, sadly if she buried her head in the sand or didn't ask for bank assistance, they won't give it
Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. 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.
