Can you subpoena a bank executive?

[shinobi101]

Hi. My bank is ignoring questions I am asking because they are difficult.

 

What I want to know is whether it's possible to subpoena a senior executive, possibly even the CEO, to force them to answer questions under oath.

 

Hopefully the threat of this would force answers. Also, if it is possible, what would it be likely to cost?

the ceo is hardly likely to know anything about the day to day conduct of your account therefore a subpeona would i suspect me seen as vexatious on your part - but in a small company could be appropriate but you need to be more specific about the circumstances

The questions are about credit creation. i.e. Did the money they claim I borrowed really exist? Would it have existed if I hadn't borrowed it?

 

The bank has not surprisingly ignored the question of money creation, even though I've offered token payment against any debt that is real.

 

So I'm looking at whether I could force a senior executive who would have the appropriate knowledge to answer some of those kinds of questions under oath.

 

What I don't know is whether I can do this, whether I would need to start a case against them or wait for them to sue me, and whether I could afford the legal fees.

i think you would get short shrift

 

i think you have been reading too many Nuke em threads:D

You're probably right about getting short shrift.

 

I knew about the credit [problem] before I found nuke em's thread, but it is interesting as he is correct about the basic principle.

 

One of the most interesting documents I've seen the affidavit of Walker F Todd. What's interesting is that Walker Todd is that he worked for the federal reserve. The affidavit is from the US and therefore is not considered a legally binding precedent for the UK, but the statements made are qualified statements made under oath and under penalty of perjury. It remains unrebutted. It's interesting enough to be worth reading to the end.
