Just a thought....

Maybe we should all apply for jobs with he banks, After all, they're going to be snowed under with requests, so they'll need some help with the filing / licking envelopes etc, and we can just OK payment in full on request, saving the banks a wad of interest and court fees and getting the claims paid quicker.

Seeing as we some of us know the process backwards, we'd be ideal candidates.

Plus, it would be a little handy extra income come christmas.

Win-Win!

OK second thought: (I was reminded of this by the Mark Thomas gig I went to last night).

Buy shares in the bank. As a shareholder you are entitled to attend the Bank's AGM, and can raise the issue in the belly of the beast. (MT did this with Balfour Beattie to stop their involvement with the Ilisu dam project, and succeeded) - I'd need to look a bit further into it, to find out how many shares you need to table a motion at the AGM, but it could be quite good fun.

That would be fun, I'd give it a go

Could shareholders 'pool' their shares so holding enough votes collectivley to table a motion?

We hold prudential shares, the Egg monster no less.

To tell the truth I don't know anywhere near enough about buying shares to know, but a group of people must be able to combine to buy shares in a company mustn't it?

Here's hoping someone more knowledgable on the subject (and this forum is full of them) can jump in to assist.

I believe that up to 20 people can pool and buy shares together. Any more than that and they have to be registered as a share dealing company. I'm sure someone on here will no more than me though

Hmm

I wasnt necessarily thinking that people should buy shares, i bet were not the only ones who have shares in a bank and i wondered about pooling them to use to table a motion.
