This has got to be the most paradoxical use of the words "Banks" and "Moral" in existence on this page. We all know that Banks operate in a moral vacuum. Their only duties are fiduciary ones to their owner/shareholders. Which is why they (bankers) are loathed almost universally.
Think that's part of the problem - during the 2000s the bailiffs got too used to dealing with tossers who were using the cheap credit to borrow money they knew they would never pay back, then getting aggressive when the bailiffs turned round to repossess it all. So the current crop of bailiffs have no ****ing clue how to deal with honest, law abiding and intelligent people who are struggling because of the financial crisis. The scouse accent doesn't bother me per se. It's just when someone repeats the same thing in a scouse accent over and over like that guy was that it starts to grate That was the most dodgy thing about that whole situation imo. The bailiff was just being a bailiff, which lets be honest is never going to be the friendliest and most accommodating of professions, particularly when you arrive to do a job and everyone is 100% prepared to stop you doing the job you are employed to do. But that 'locksmith' bloke was about as dodgy as they come. - He lied about who he was - He tried to hide the paperwork, knowing he hadn't done it correctly (the bailiff didn't even seem to know this) - He was the one giving most of the aggro, threatening to knock out the other guy - After the police had told them to **** off, he was the one who climbed the fence and encouraged the bailiff to do the same to try and get into the house whilst everyone else was distracted The extent to which the banks are legally and morally responsible for the behaviour of a bailiff is a bit debatable. After all, the bank's usually can't exercise direct control over the bailiff, they just give them the warrant and the bailiff decides how to sort it out. But the bank definitely has a responsibility for the behaviour of their own representative, and I hope he was seriously disciplined, if not fired. Hope the scouse bloke also lodged that form with the magistrates and the bank was fined for the aggressive and illegal behaviour of its employee during an eviction.
