Bank account details

[al4x]

dont see what all the fuss is about ?

 

whos ever written a cheque ? i presume about 95% of people on here, you give someone a cheque and you give them your account number, sort code and a sample of your signature

 

Yeah, but not your National Insurance number, date of birth and children's names. I'm not bothered about the bank stuff, as you say we give that all the time, it's the combination of that with the other information that is extremely useful to identity thieves.

 

 

Indeed, it includes family names (maiden names) previous addresses - the information lost really is "the whole nine yards"

 

In fact it's all the information they need to help detect a fraud and or an indentity theft......... this way if they know *everything* there is to know about your personal details, then if a fraudster were to make a benefit application in your name or you were to monkey with the system and make multiple claims (for example) then they would have all the definitive information available and be able to pounce in a highly efficient manner and stop the fraud / identity crime from being perpetrated.

 

Problem is, when distributing this golden information they couldn't cough for the price of guaranteed next day delivery.

 

Makes my **** boil. Speaking of which, where has PIN been recently - probably filling out child benefit application forms?

 

 

there is no way these should be in the postal system they should be delivered sameday by courier. Its a lot more expensive but £300 or so versus loosing 25 million peoples records is chicken feed. It cannot then go missing unless the courier takes it or crashes and the bike goes up in flames and at least you know the person responsible.
