The government need to act and force banks, local councils, utility companies etc to introduce payment holidays for all those effected by their firms or own businesses having to shutdown and be bringing in no money. They also need to work out ways to provide funds for those who can’t afford to put food on the table.

Also companies that provide nonessential services need to be sympathetic and offer payment holidays, otherwise this country is going to end up proper fucked.

A lot of banks are already doing this, plus there is a Business Interruption Loan screen announces at the budget already in place.

Also remember that banks are also businesses who need cash to pay staff and rent.

They’re putting the gapping plan in the body shop now, so doubt they’ll be building on lates.

Have you seen the hoops you need to go through for this. Our relationship manager seemed to be almost chuckling to himself when I mentioned it.

[Sam Handwich]

In all seriousness though mate, they would be hard pushed to put profit over people on this one.

They will say it’s health and well been but in reality it will be parts

It’s a situation where we could end up in a whole heap of financial mess.

If people start defaulting on loans and mortgages, then it will also affect the banking business.

It’s a complex financial web, and someone is going to need help, be it helping banks help us, or helping us continue to pay the banks.
