Did anyone else watch this? A look at how some commercial banks are not only wilfully screwing some customers over, which puts them out of business, but even doing it intentionally in certain circumstances. It was shocking how they treated some clients.

Any Lloyds or RBS customers on here really should catch it on iplayer.

One of my favourite parts was when the ex commercial property investor held the redacted letter up to the light and could see that the bank was after a surveyor that would be particularly harsh on the value of his property. To treat a paying client (one that has probably given them tens of thousands in profit from fees and interest) is simply disgusting.
