Anyone with Metro Credit Card
This is not specifically related to the credit card itself, but more about its details as presented on the online banking.

Its probably not much" I got told by my mum that I think it was either Lloyds or Halix sent a letter saying I had a old account from the 80s that hadn't been used, where we aware.

Recycled Phone - Wrong Bank Details
