  1. All these banks are involved in legal extortion it seems. People need to stand up to this nonsense. Dishonest set of people they are. They just intend to makeone off our backs without doing any real work. The ECCB is complicit as well in allowing the public to be footing the bills of these multi billion dollar institutions. WICKED SET AH PEOPLE! !!!
