What is the RBS Global Restructuring Group (GRG)?
Between 2008 and 2013, the GRG at Natwest and RBS was established by the banks as a business support unit for businesses experiencing financial difficulties.

.
Why Do I Have A GRG Claim?
The FCA recently published a report which stated it had, “significant concerns” with how SME customers were treated by the RBS Global Restructuring Group.
The damning FCA report said that the RBS failed to support its commercial customers with an ethical and well thought out turnaround practice.
It also highlighted that the RBS had placed undue focus on pricing increases and debt reduction without considering the long-term consequences to its customers.
More alarmingly, the FCA stated the bank had failed to identify customer complaints and handle them fairly.
The affected companies were charged overly complex fees and was subjected to other treatments which in some instances overburned the company with debt and pushed them into an insolvent state.
In some instances, the RBS disposed of company assets at prices that may have been at an undervalue; selling them off to other companies associated with RBS.
How Much Compensation Am I Entitled To?
The RBS has announced is has set aside a total of £400,000,000 to compensate its SME customers. Within the FCA report, it announced there could be as many as 16,000 affected businesses.
