At what point is there an end to "free banking" as we currently know it?
Let's Be Careful Out There0 -
Here is a detailed account of the new regulations:A note worthy change is that banks will be allowed to delay payments by up to four business days if they suspect APP fraud. That is longer than BACS, which takes 3 days.

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.

Is dementia only a condition once it's been formally diagnosed, and not in the days/weeks/months prior to a formal diagnosis?1 -
On the other hand, regular contact can mask a gradual decline - one that may be more easily noticed when contact is infrequent.poshrule_uk said:

No we aren't, the original comment asked if someone with dementia was stupid and you said that anyone with dementia should have a relatuve or carer with power of attorney to stop any sort of financial mistakes. Dementia is a gradual decline so there will quite obviously a point where dementia has made someone more vulnerable to fraud but they haven't yet had a diagnosis. Even if someone did have power of attorney then like anyone alive they would still hsve some vulnerability to fraud.Nasqueron said:
