banks where irresponsible encouraging people to borrow vast sums of money. especially as some people are not in the position to pay it back. whats also become a problem is that its quite easy to claim bankruptcy now. meaning the banks wont get all their money back anyway. so thats now got them worried and they're tightening things up.
