Someone tried to steal my identity!!

[jon_s]

I had a credit history check today, and although it all went through ok, my old address was flagged up. The short story is that the old house was sold to developers and it was vacant for nearly a year. Due to some arguments with the neighbours they put security guards in the house blah blah blah. Anyway, obviously some of my post ended up in their hands and they have been trying to use my name and (old) address as security for cars and other expensive items. Lucklily they failed. The police are now onto it. No real harm done, but it makes you think!
