It angers me too be honest MI5.

No doubt tax payers will end up bailing her out. If she can't pay it back they should deduct from benefits at source then she wouldn't do it again.

Use credit unions, much better, ethical and moral.

And a bit far fetched too. That's a conspiracy theory too far for me.

Changing the subject slightly but yesterday I was in Debenhams and the assistant asked the elderly lady in front of me if she wanted to save 10% with a Debenhams store card.  She said no and was going to pay by cash when he said something to her and she said yes.  As well as being elderly (which isn't a problem in itself) she wasn't English and appeared to be deaf.  The assistant was struggling to get her to understand what he was saying, and she didn't even know what he meant by 'password'.

 

I really don't think that he should have been able to sign her up.  From what I could hear she didn't know what she was signing up for.  If I found out my Mum had been pressured like that I would go mad.

That's a disgrace, I would have had to step and explain in a very loud voice to the entire store what was going on.........

I thought about it but last time I tried to help an elderly person in a shop (different circumstances admittedly) I got such a mouthful I'm tend to steer clear now. I do feel a bit guilty in this case though.

I tend to stay out of these things too. I used to get involved and found that I then got criticised so don't bother now.

These days it's hard to be a good samaritan because if you try to help, sometimes the other person isn't happy and they'll end up suing you or you'll get an earful or get attacked.

 

It's silly what this society has become......
