This is a mistake that could benefit the bad paying customers of the Postal Bank.
The organization announced Tuesday to have been "victim", a year ago, of the destruction of more than 30,000 loan files "linked to a failure of its archiving service provider".
According to the
Canard enchaîné
, at the origin of the revelations, the archiving company confused the numbers of obsolete mortgage files, which were "to be released", and the numbers of the cases where they were stored.
Instead of taking 2,052 files, 2,052 boxes containing 30,527 files were destroyed by the archiving company as a result of a “file reversal”.
A provider yet "recognized"
"This failure of a recognized expert in archiving in the banking and insurance sector will have no impact on the protection of the rights of La Banque Postale customers", wanted to reassure the company.
But the Postal Bank, which is exposed to possible defaults from bad paying customers - the destroyed files concerning guarantees, did not indicate the amount of its potential damage.
