    I have had my bank account raided by fraudsters using my debit card details twice in the past year...by telephone ordering...delivering to addresses several counties from where I reside. The companies do not care that you have not ordered form them they have your details and your bank has paid up...you need to go to fraud dept. at bank.
    On both occassions I intercepted the fraud for large sums not normally going from my account and days before transactions for tiny amounts £2.40 a £5 had gone in or out to check they could raid my money. As recent tranactions are used as an id with the account...piece of cake for fraudsters. Even though I had discovered massive fraud the bank still paid out to companies as they apparantly have to ..up to 6 months after the order has gone through...it is up to you to ckain it back and prove you didn't order the stuff.

    Good Luck

    This exact same thing happened to my Dad a few months ago, he too received an invoice from Very, even though he'd never registered or ordered anything from them. Fortunately, no further action was taken when he contacted them and explained the situation.
