Everyday extortion

[Durkin]

Hi Folks,

 

I just had an interesting chat with CID.

 

As some of you may be aware, I've been trying to have an ex CEO of a bank (HFC's Adrian Hill) prosecuted for extortion.

 

It was very clear that they're very reluctant to go ahead.

 

One of the reasons though was particularly interesting. They said that there'd been absolutely no other calls to prosecute from other citizens!

 

It made me look like a sole nutter!

 

So, if we're ever going to have these bankers jailed, I'd like folk to realise how simply banks can try and extort money from us.

 

I appreciate, to date, that most folk are either intimidated and pay what they don't owe, or just assume the "banks are up to their usual tricks" without taking action, probably because they've no faith in justice.

 

If we're unable to expose injustice though, we'll never be able to fix it.

 

I'd like to attach an example of extortion, the one that's been put forward to CID in fact. (I'm unsure why I've no permission for that?)

 

Basically though, if you're being asked to pay something you don't owe and being advised of "consequences if you don't", it's extortion. A criminal offence. Please go to the police if you have time.

 

Thanks for reading.

 

Richard.

Hi Richard.

 

When you write a post, click 'go advanced' in the bottom right corner. That should take you to a different page where you should be able to add attachments

Tried that. I've attached stuff before. It says that I've no permission to add attachments. Right at the bottom. Under posting permissions.

Richard, it could be that you have exceeded your limit.

 

If you go to the "User CP" link at the top right of the screen.. click on that, then look to the left of the new screen - scroll down the page and you will under "My settings > miscellaneous " - Attachments. Click on that and edit some of your previous attachments off

 

You should then be able to add new ones.

 

If not, let us know and I will send you an email address that you can use to send the attachment to and we can pop it up for you.
