We want to make sure that
- people who have suffered or are suffering realise that they are not alone
- MPs, with whom people may have made contact, realise that they are not the only one in Parliament
- so that, together, we get the attention of the Treasury Select Committee and of Ministers, with the goal of changing the law.
For witnesses who give evidence before the Committee have, so far, never originated from the ‘general public’, i.e. borrowers, bankrupts and sufferers from ‘the system’ on the legal and / or financial level.
While the overall topics are Financial Fairness and Challenging the Recession for Thursday and Friday, April 23rd/24th, we may also organise an earlier meeting at Westminster, if you want to join us.
Here’s a text that you can send it to your MP:

In detail, the following has happened:
I understand that, by grouping complaints, we can change at least the law. And I wonder whether you’ve had other constituents with the same problem? It falls under the following category, well beyond my control:
Employment

Enterprise

- Not providing financial facilities as before
Other financial organisations

Yours sincerely
