Right. We all agree on that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS9ptA3Ya9E

Unfortunately, that appears not to be consistent with the dreary reality we find ourselves in :-(

Right. But my point is, if we're going to try to fix something, "let's give consumers earlier notification that their finances are being ruined" isn't a great goal without giving them the power to stop it.

"Don't let banks ruin people's finances via incompetence" is a good goal.
