Hi, my mum and dad both have credit cards with a high street bank. i also have one with the same bank and we all live at the same address.
My mum and dad are taking theirs into the bank tomorrow to cancel theirs. Can the bank tell them about my credit card as we are at the same address?

    I wouldnt have said so due to data protection...

    Why dont you want them to know? ;)
  • well they put me through uni so i didnt have to borrow money so i just didnt want them to know im paying it off and have cut the cards up. So even if i live with them they cant tell them?

    Nope, and if they do they have broken data protection laws..

    ony way they may find out you have one, is if, for example they search for your address using your postcode, this will bring up all accounts at your address, but even then, they will ask them to confirm their names, rather than suggest names to them....so I think you will be fine :D
