Graham showed his support for local SMEs damaged by the misconduct of high street banks. He met with Northwich constituent, Mark Addison, who is one of several hundred small businesses owners who attended the “Brolly-Day” campaign day and met with their MPs.
Graham said: “Hundreds of businesses, like Mark’s, have been severely damaged by the misconduct of its bank in selling to it an inappropriate financial product and subsequently by the refusal of the bank to accept responsibility for their misconduct.
“The behaviour displayed by these banks is extremely worrying and hundreds of businesses continue to suffer due to a failing FCA scheme. However, it is encouraging to see that steady progress is being made.
“Bully-Banks is a campaign group of over 1,700 small businesses throughout the UK. It is currently campaigning on behalf of small businesses damaged by the mis-sale of Interest Rate Hedging Products, the mis-sale of fixed rate business loans, the mis-sale of Enterprise Finance Guarantees and the mis-sale of factoring services.”
