TESTIMONY
Before the confinement began, Huguette received a letter from her bank announcing that her account was going to be closed due to her overdrafts. The latter says it is difficult to open an account in another bank. A situation that affects Huguette a lot since she comes on top of other personal problems. At the microphone of "La Libre antenne", on Europe 1, Huguette confides and asks Olivier Delacroix for advice to settle the situation with his bank.

"I have a lot of worries. Before the confinement, I received a registered letter from my bank saying that they were operating a business break-up. I run into walls because I have to find another bank that wants accept me well. This rejection comes from the fact that I was exposed for a while. It all started from there. I have 800 euros of retirement and I have 300 euros of charge. So I have 500 euros left. I have my dog to maintain and it is the apple of my eye.
I am followed by a social worker who apparently is not very efficient. The social worker didn't say much to me. She just says to me, "Don't worry, we'll find a solution. You have to go to another bank. If they don't accept you, you ask for a refusal paper. If they refuse, we will will lead to the Banque de France. " This is the speech she gives me. Otherwise, I could hire a lawyer, but I cannot afford it.
" I make phone calls which are not successful "My discovery is around 300 euros, it's still not huge. They sent me the mail before the confinement. They left me alone for the time of confinement, but by June 30, I must have found another bank willing to accept me and that is not guaranteed. So I make phone calls which are unsuccessful because the workforce is reduced. I went to the bank yesterday. I was told, "We will call you". I'm still waiting for someone to call me. I am lost because no one calls me back to give me an appointment to open an account elsewhere.

I'm a little depressed right now. I'm rotten. When I wake up in the morning, I don't want to get up. I have only one desire, it is to commit suicide. I have been on antidepressant treatment for twenty years because I have had a dented life because of my ex-husbands. I haven't seen my children for five years. They completely rejected me and I don't know why. I have no family. I'm alone. That's why I often talk about my dog, but luckily I have it. "
