New Credit Card Offer

lisyloo

many could dig up loads within a few seconds just by checking amended (or not) electoral, phone and council tax records.

Hi, I'm opted out of the edited electoral register and not in the phone book.
But can anyone tell me where I can check council tax records and how I "opt out".

I would advise people to opt out of the edited electoral register.

Just wondering if you search for yourself on the bt online phone book site and you don't get a result does that mean your Ex directory?

I had this today. Posted another thread as couldnt find one about it, sorry

Had a look through, and cant see this posted, so if ive missed it please delete this.

Had a call this evening from a 'company' that wouldnt give its name, only that they were working on behalf of Mastercard.

They said that my home number had been approved a £4,000 mastercard as I have always been a good citizen and paid my debts on time (totally false as im now in DMP). I played along to see what they said.

They had my address, home phone number and name. They said to send me my new Credit Card I needed to provide them with an existing Credit/Bank card details to confirm my address :eek: . They wanted the whole 16 digits, expiry date and security code. I asked how this would confirm my address and was told that 'it just would'.

They wouldnt provide any company details or name or anything like that. The guy that phoned me, had a foreign accent, so they could be here or an international company. No number on the 1471 either.

Im sure that most people wouldnt fall for this. But there is always someone who would provide their current CC details.

So just to make people aware of it.

Yeh I had this call today they said they were celebrating 5 years and was offering me a £4000 credit card with zero interest for the year and the man on the phone
Asked me for my bank card details I had a credit card so I gave him them ones knowing he couldn’t use it as it had little cash on it and no balance
He said this card is no good he can’t verify it because I had not used it in a month
And the balance was zero

I said to him I need my security and I am not prepared to give him my bank details as he was a stranger who claims he’s from a company
He said it was a safe check and they would not use it I said to him I am not prepared to do that he said ok then don’t expect a credit card company to give me a credit card without a credit check

I said to him ok and he hung up

Yes it does. It should tell you on your BT statement if your ex-directory, as far as I can remember. It's been a while since I was with BT.

If you're not listed in any of the online phone book websites, then no question you'll be ex-directory.
