Two stories from different parts of the country, but both caught my eye today as they involve banks coming under fire for being irresponsible in giving loans and/or credit cards to disabled people who, it's suggested, were unable to handle the sums involved because of their impairments, and consequently ran up debts. One of the people involved reportedly has bipolar disorder, the other learning difficulties.

Compare and contrast:
• Bank criticised over loan to man who gave money away
• NatWest helps illiterate man into debt

(Just to reassure you, that's not our wording on the last headline.)

Be interested to hear your thoughts on these stories in the comments, and whether you've heard of anything similar happening to other people.
