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. If asked Can the bank tell them about my credit card as we are at the same address?

    Hi
    I think you've posted into the wrong forum.
    This one is for techie problems.
    There is a different one for Credit Cards.

    No cause that would be breaking data protection. Why you not suppose to have a credit card or something.

    The bank shouldnt mention your credit unlesss theres a serious problem with it which is making your 'house' close to blacklisted

    As you dont want them to know id assume its getting close then..........
    :idea:

    Nothing to worry about then (as said above, its against the law)

    On a side note, your mum sounds lovely so personally speaking maybe it would be best if you told her the truth?

    I have to speak out as I never when my daughter got a credit card, if you have one you are making a conscious decision to live in debt when there's no need....
    She never said till she broke down one day and tearfully told me she'd got into 10k of debt.........

    Bless you, try not to worry, banks don't discuss other customers..
    My bank wouldn't discuss my hubby's account details with me, it just wouldn't happen, accounts are confidential.
