incompetence a la inspector closeau aside - in these days - big brother who wants to dig up any bit of info on a citizen can do so...too much info floating around - Comment by desigirl
Its the whole caboodle that is worrying, LV. Not just the NI number. Am sure someone 'creative' could come up with loads of ways to wreck havoc with sensitive data and now that the whole thing has been handed to someone on a platter, well, we can just wait and see what is going to happen.The ONLY good thing about this is that this fiasco effectively puts paid to the ID card system. I do not think this govt can keep track of where their arse is at all times, leave alone confidential information. Toff Dave is having a field day, ain't he though? - Comment by LighterVein
DG, you are right to be pissed off at the nincompoops sending the cds in unregistered post.Not undermining the seriousness of the issue - Is having National Insurance number as good as having a passport? I don't think so. What can one person with my NIN alone do with it? They sent my N.I.N in an unregistered post. Pardon my ignorance if they can. Yes, with bank details and all the remaining information its understandable. - Comment by desigirl
I know, Dee. I am worried as hell. I wrote to CIFAS and guess what they say? "There's no proof that this will result in irregular, illegal activity so there's no need to panic!"The whole govt is going to pot, I tell you. - Comment by Deepti Lamba
