The reason for starting this thread is warn everyone to be aware that hackers may be able to get into your old addresses and then using the info in there to run up large debts in your name. I have read an article in a site called Thisismoney. Sorry I cant do the link but perhaps someone who can will do it for me. Completely out of the blue a bloke got a letter from Santander wanting him to start making payments off his credit card that had £6000 outstanding on it.
He did'nt have a card with Santander or even an account with them. The hackers had used his old address to get the info to get the Credit card.
I think most of us will have had more than one e mail account at sometime in the past. If you can remember your password and can still get into them make sure you do and delete all the info in there and then close the account down completely.
