HBOS humbled on debt bullying claim

A stressed-out restaurant worker who fell behind on her £7,300 loan repayments to HBOS has had her claim for harassment from the 40% taxpayer-owned bank upheld.

In a seven month period HBOS made an astonishing 500 nuisance calls to 48-year-old Roberts - even calling her elderly parents about the loan. Roberts has been awarded £7,500 damages. A victory for consumers? %VIRTUAL-SkimlinksPromo%
