AHO decided eight and a half years ago that Lloyds were guilty for the mis sale of PPI. He was the first CEO to step forward and voluntarily set aside a gigantic fund for compensation claims. My ongoing regret is well known. The originators of the mis sale have all enjoyed the proceeds of their crime - equally at Lloyds and all the other banks and building societies in the UK. For the privileged, fraud obviously pays.
Agree totally about concerns of the PPI but it's very nearly over ,as bad as that was the purchase of HBOSS the government should be compensating lloyds shareholders for that but no one held to account
Gordon Brown to blame for that. Co-erced Victor Blank to skip due diligence.
Sorry
I was a bit tipsy at the time
Eric was on the Canadian Club
Seemed a good deal at the time
Due diligence. due what ??
Oh well it’s almost turned out well
No oversight then.
AHO decided (no coercion) Lloyds missold PPI and stepped forward voluntarily( no coercion again) to set-up a gigantic fund that increased annually under his charge.Yet no answer to my question of governance or reason to provide information annually on time to the authorities.
All well then, no confirmation of valid claims or otherwise.Pity he wasn`t as strident in running the Bank since.
Speaking of valid ppi claims I read a short while ago that only one in ten are authentic. .. it reminds you of the BP oil rig disaster in the gulf ,just about everyone in the usa tried to claim from BP ...you know, where there is blame there is a claim culture
correct re the purchase of HBOS which nearly took Lloyds with it, Lloyds was pressed by the government to take HBOS on because they were bust. should never have happened, they should have let HBOS sink , should never have agreed to it. your right no one was held to account.
You're not wrong, Mrs N. It's rather like the MPs who are awarded, or rather almost award themselves knighthoods. I think the last time I checked, around 4% of MPs were knights or dames. If this was replicated throughout the UK, we would have over two and a half million enjoying this honour. Considering the poor quality of current MPs, it has become a soiled award.

I started this fantasy portfolio in 2016 to challenge various posters perception that Lloy is 'the worst share ever' or a 'dire share', on the 8th Oct 2016 I invited WL/Newchurch to choose an alternative ftse 100 company so I could run a comparison
On 8th Oct 2016 - 1000 quid bought 206 BP. shares & 1905 Lloy shares
Today's value
BP. 206 @ 493 = 1015
Lloy 1905 @ 50.3 = 958
In April 2017 Invest4life suggested I add Glencore -
On 22-4-17 - 1000 quid bought 335 Glen shares & 1553 Lloy shares
Today's value
Glen 335 @ 230 = 771
Lloy 1553 @ 50.3 = 781

On 30-7-17 1000 quid bought 479 Barc & 1504 Lloy
Today's value
Barc 479 @ 140 = 671
Lloy 1504 @ 50.3 = 757
In Sept 2018 Motley Fool recommended Diageo over Lloyds
On 9-9-18 1000 quid bought 37.3 DGE & 1704 Lloy
DGE 37.3 @ 3449 = £1286
Lloy 1704 @ 50.3 = £857
This weeks observation - Banks and others still down on Brexit concerns
Overall conclusion -
A very basic comparison that does no include divi yield, IMO those still suggesting Lloy is 'the worst share ever' or a 'dire share' seriously need to examine their concept of investing.

Asperger1 - I suggest SOLG and SDX for your fantasy portfolio. If you want more information, just ask. DYOR.
Just to clarify, I haven't nominated those companies due to any negative feelings for LLOY, but because I see both as shares that have floundered due to impatient investors. Both have good news to come in the next year IMHO. DYOR. I wouldn't normally post about other shares, but as it's a fantasy portfolio, IMHO that makes it alright.
Choose one Madpunter - SOLG or SXD
Asperger no buybacks but sp reversed Honolulu baby here we go. All the best :-)))
