Martin and Violet Coyne are back in court next month and have been relying on family and friends to put a roof over their heads.

Tamara Kearns from the Housing Action Group says Rabobank is helping homeless charities on one hand, but making people homeless on the other.

"They're putting people out on the streets, but yet they're going then and helping the homeless," she said.

"Why evict someone and make them homeless, and then butter it up by going out on to the streets and working with the homeless - or supporting or donating to the charity."
