This is a story inspired by my personal experience with a bank.After being made redundant, the bank refused to make payments on loans covered by personal protection insurance. I was hounded for payments their insurance was responsible for. Even though I had paid insurance, they added charges and interest, causing the debts to spiral. Under extra pressure, it was the main cause of the eventual complete breakdown of my marriage.Unable to continue making loan and mortgage payments, I was forced to sell my house well below market price. With no money and no government support, I found myself living on the streets. With no money for food, I dropped from over fifteen stone to less than ten stone in four months.Twelve years later, I find that the banks had deliberately conned people out of their money, with no intention of making payments on the payment protection plans. Because of their greed, now at age seventy, I live alone in a very small, rented flat; I paid off my loans but lost my family and my house.As a disabled diabetic, the lack of proper food resulted in stomach complications, including a laparotomy and years of learning to eat properly again, the poor food contributed to the loss of my eyesight.The power of the banks meant they did not lose. They got their money, they also earned a fortune on the money paid to them for protection; twelve years later, they eventually paid a refund but interest at the lowest rate possible. The ordinary man in the street? They stomped on him.This is the imaginary story of someone facing the same situation but younger, stronger, fitter, and more capable of effecting his revenge on the bank directors who robbed him.

Born on June 26, 1945, in Preston, Lancashire, I took an interest in motivation and personal development over thirty years ago. When striving for success, I observed how some people became successful while others made no progress. Over the last few years, I have experienced many changes in my lifestyle, most of which I would have preferred to avoid. Yet these very experiences have enabled me to wrestle with life and observe many things from outside the normal light, a glimpse of life from a new window, enabling me to observe other peoples lives and giving me a greater understanding of why, although most people dream, they dont achieve a life of fulfillment. I always have been fascinated by previous civilizations, nations, and races, with their different cultures, traditions, and beliefs. How they lived at a personal level. During my life, as I travelled through different countries and met the inhabitants, I noticed that many people drift through life on a day-to-day basis, living a way of life with no purpose other than to stay alive for as long as possible. This lack of ambition makes me feel that lives are being wasted, hence the incentive to do something about it; if this book achieves a change for the better for only one life, I feel I will have contributed something positive to society.
