A couple in their 70s fear they’ll be made homeless after claiming an RBS banking error 30 years ago has financially “ruined” them.
Bernard Lockett, 78, says he and his wife Lea, 73, lost tens of thousands of pounds from the sale of a property due to the high street bank's financial "mismanagement". Back in 1993 Bernard and his wife sold a holiday tour business and then their bungalow, in Perthshire, the following year.
Bernard said he had a company overdraft and business loan with RBS, and after the home went for £131,000, they'd expected to recoup roughly £20,000 in profit.
