Dishonesty Policy’s Best Policy

Stu Saw reports why a dishonesty policy is best policy

FIRST IT WAS the miss-selling of endowments, next up it was mortgages and pensions – and now it’s PFIs which turn to be miss-sold.

Is capitalism eating itself?
That’s just the small stuff of the boom in dishonesty policy. The big stuff is scarier: banking systems; money supply; debt vehicles with dodgy MoTs; euro collapso you name it.

Seems to me that miss-selling is one of the biggest growth industries and is topped only by the industry set up to counter it. Is capitalism eating itself?

It’s starting to become clear. Although never knowingly undersold, my entire life appears to have been miss-sold.

The whole nine yards
Not just the gas, electricity, politics, the media, ready-meals, the environment, Downton Abbey and the Olympics – but everything – the whole nine yards.

It’s all been faked up by scam artists. Who do I contact? Where is the quango? Whither “OFLIFE”? Is there a “no win no fee” solicitor who can take me on and sort me out? How do I get my life back and sort out compensation?

Have I been miss-sold or have I miss-sold myself to the highest bidder? It’s exhausting just thinking about it. At least I can look forward to my retirement. Little place called Money Village where “you’re not alone”.

The old ones are the best…
