2/2 We are now doing far better in a new store, hiring former and new staff… The support from our local authority has also been shambolic… We have survived because of local community support and determination… All to spite the lack of GOV ‘support’ @Bounce_BackLoan
1/2 I haven’t posted for a fair while, after losing 3 of 4 business during the pandemic, because government loans passed us by because of ‘banking discrimination’ and zero support from politicians, we have moved into a new premises with our remaining business! @Bounce_BackLoan
@Bounce_BackLoan Soul destroying. Many of us have just about lost everything, despite being legitimate and qualifying... We’re being discriminated against because of who we bank with... We need a lender of last resort... NOW!
@kevinhollinrake@APPGbanking I would love to get a BBL, but we (and many, many others) are being ACTIVELY discriminated against because of who we chose to bank with... Greedy mainstream banks or flexible fintechs...
Am thinking of sending @RishiSunak an invoice for my loss of earnings, time trying to get a BBL and more! @Bounce_BackLoan or perhaps I should invoice @TideBusiness etc for the time they wasted...
@Bounce_BackLoan As we speak im selling off the last of my workshops assets and packing up my workshop. My businesses are basically closing. All because I didnt have access to any of the the 3 bbls(!!!!) I was supposed to be eligible for.
Not sure if I walk actually sleep, I have to make the remainder of my staff redundant tomorrow... Another previously profitable business about to go into liquidation...
@Conisterbank @Bounce_BackLoan@RishiSunak@BorisJohnson Applied on 28th Aug for a BBL and getting confirmation It was being processed, I called today (13th Oct) after hearing NOTHING, now told they are now closed for all BBL lending! Where do I go now? Jobcentre? Nearest Bridge?
After a day from hell and several calls to @samaritans I am going to bed. Hopefully a BBL fairy will visit during the night, although I doubt @RishiSunak , @BritishBBank or @BorisJohnson will actually give a shit.
@LondonSME1@curti_andre@Bounce_BackLoan I joined Capital On Tap around 6 weeks ago... They said once I had an account I could apply... then told they would assess my account in two weeks... four weeks after, I asked again, told they would assess in two weeks... still nowhere...
