Had half a dozed letters in the last 10 days, some ones having a bloody good time of it being me apparently.

Final reminder after final reminder and its costing me time and money ringing solicitors, loan agency's and bloody bookies telling them i have never heard of em !.

This weekend will be spent trying to clear my name and getting a crime number off the old bill :angry:

Had one for the last 5 years Tony, religious with it !.

The first two companies that contacted me over this told me that the only details they had were a name and address and a a false e-mail.

Scary stuff, all you need is a phone book and your in business.

That sucks mate hope you get it sorted. My brother in law had it happen to him last year he can't figure out how. He's in IT and his computer is bombproof and he burns all his tracable stuff and only has one credit card that he rarely uses. Just unlucky he says the worst bit is that it's a faceless crime and he has no one to want to kill.
Can't see it from my house

I don't do the credit thing myself if i can help it but it seems to me i always have to jump through hoops to get anything,- mothers maiden name, date of birth, copy of utility bill etc... and then sign and return something sent to your home address ?

Just my theory but i suspect some on-line companies make it too easy to get credit (for online betting/shopping etc..) and factor in their fraud loss`s into their margins.

Mugs like me have to spend time and money sorting out the aftermath.
