Personal thought for the day, as the week comes to an end

Web technology is now so simple to use, anyone can do it... set a few parameters and the reports that it generates are amazing... first pictures all the hits from just the UK that we've had in the last 2 weeks. More interestingly 9 individual IP hits from Barclays... wonder what they want..?

On a personal note, I had a call from a friend who asked if I was ok? and to be honest it's hard to say yes/ no to that. Afterall all I'm doing all the work here, using fair comment where it applies. Using sarcasm, poor taste comedy, strong and unpleasant language. Most importantly trying to make sure folks understand how serious this is, if you have a financial product be is a mortgage, a loan or overdraft. Have ever considered what you'd do if the bank/ lender chooses to just close the door in your face?

Think about it, how can you carry on as if nothing had happened when obviously something as serious as the closure of all your accounts has happened.

Add to that the whole getting nearly killed, having to learn to walk and talk again. Deal with the facts of being made disabled, PTSD, finding yourself in a courtcase for millions of pounds... All the while having to try and neagotiate with a Bank, In my Barclays that simply does not listen, does not care or is willing to see the porblem they've caused.

Afterall they closed my bank account, I didn't close theirs..... They broadsided me with Legal action, while I was unable to deal with that concept. They tried to put pressure on my wife to get me to stop asking questions, which eventually broke her. I didn't do that, I didn't even know about it till after her breakdown.

So what am I trying to say, as I do find it all difficult not just because of being a dylexic. Or because I now have an acquired brain injury. But because I was brought up to tell people what I think, right or wrong.... and now it appears when I tell them they claim it hurts their feelings... To have that luxury must be truly a gift from heaven... As I really don't know how I'm meant to process that, I was nearly killed, explained what happened and everyone denied it.

I explained what happened to the police who said they didn't investigate that sort of thing, I explained it all to my doctor and he said it was impossible as I would just be dead. I explained it all to the insurance company who unbeknown to me where also the people who caused the acccidents insurance firm... and this is where the runabout started.... they made the claim impossible, sat on things for ages and hung us out to dry.

Barclays only came along after I'd been auditted, found that out that my mortgage was simply impossible and that is was more than likely predatory lending. A term I had never heard before and didn't understand... At this point i started to ask questions and now 12 years later Barclays claims that I'm unpleasant, difficult to deal with and most importantly they still not answered the questions....

So how would you feel..? how would anyone feel that's been through this little lot... even in my strangest moment of the brain injury when I was constantly reliving 1983-1988 verbatim sequentually for about a year... I never once thought I would have so much grief from Barclays.... who simply don't want to discuss it. I get why, if I was in their shoes I wouldn't be too keen either, bearing in mind how many mortgages do they hold on people..? families all of whom could at any moment have the exact same thing happen that was wished by Barclays on us....

This about this, how would you react..? if the door was slammed in your face for 10+years, people call you a liar and threaten to take away everything you've worked for....

If you can find yourself part way to that place you might have a better understanding of how the many folks that must be in the same position as me.
