'Whisteblowing was my career suicide'

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Nicholas Wilson spent the past 13 years saying that a bank he worked for, HFC, had been overcharging people on their credit cards. Earlier this year his campaign paid off - thousands of people were offered a multi-million-pound compensation payout by HFC's new owners, HSBC.
