Bankers assets seized (a tale of hope)

This story from "This is London"

/snip

When Royal Bank of Scotland refused to refund £3,400 charges that Declan Purcell believed he was owed, he sent in the bailiffs.

Stunned customers at his branch of RBS watched as debt collectors seized four computers, two fax machines and a till filled with cash.

The branch manager was told that the items would be sold unless RBS came up with the money owed to Mr Purcell.

1. Great Story!!

Gawd, if only I had thought of that. Of course, I know the authorities here would have laughed me out of the station but I am enjoying the thought.

3. Are American courts as willing to uphold consumer rights?

How bad has America become that I would even ask such a question?
