More details from petition creator

Banks and consumer credit institutions appear to be ignoring their responsibilities under sections 2 and 14 of the Banking Code by acting unfairly towards people who owe them money and are in financial difficulties. At the same time they are using their concerted power to force those setting up IVAs, arrangements under between people in debt and themselves, to act in certain ways which adversely affect those in debt and which in some cases denies those people access to use the legislation. The insolvency legislation is for all of us to use if and when appropriate, and while there may always be some limiting factors over its practical usage those factors should not be dictated by the banks and financial institutions.
