A thought that's occurred to me many times before, but which came up again in discussion with my fellow youth leaders last night:
Identity fraud is a very serious issue; we're constantly being told we should be careful about giving personal information out and that, in particular, we shouldn't just throw things in the bin if there's a chance that someone could go through the rubbish and pick out that information later. Understandably, my bank are particularly keen to remind me to be careful with details of my home address and bank account.
Of course, this would be made a lot easier if I didn't have to regularly dispose of unwanted letters offering me loans, with personal information about myself and my account all over them, which have come from... my bank.
Grrrrrrr...
