I am aware that the bank says it engages right along the line. The court cases I have witnessed, involving the county registrar or other courts, lead me to believe there is little contact being made during the course of those court cases between the bank, or the account manager of the individual concerned, and the firm of solicitors. The solicitors tend to pursue the individual doggedly. It may not be an instruction from the bank. How much engagement is there by the bank with the firm of solicitors employed in each case? Are the firms just let loose on the customers?
