I want my account deleted and all of my information removed, I want to invoke my right to be forgotten. -

I was the victim of identity theft earlier this year. Credit cards taken out in my name, store cards, mail order accounts. Taking months and months to sort out. And of course just when I started working in Germany and could have done with a line of credit to tide me over until the first invoice was paid (2 months wait, all flights and accommodation to find after being on the bench for 2 months)
Very frustrating and sorry to hear that bud. Glad the damage was minimal. I'd get your experian report just in case (to be fair supposed to do this every 6 months anyway).
Good luckKnock first as I might be balancing my chakras.Comment

with me I was in South Africa and they did a carbon form of my card at the Airport (I think that was the only one) and then I apparently started buying gear all over Africa.
Money back in my account in a couple of days.
Chip & Pin does seem to cutting this type of fraud.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
