    It could be argued that burning the statement is acting to the person's detriment.

    Or safeguarding someone from ID theft.

    Guys,

    I received some females nationwide flexaccount bank statement 1 week ago via post.

    All with her bank account number, sort code, what she bought, what time, date and how much ect.

    Just a warning so say that going paperless is a good idea. Not the banks fault of course.

    Why did you open an envelope not belong to you? Was the address of yours?

    My online statements are exact copies of postal statements, so they have my address on.

    Some foreigners, like me, need to provide proof of our income each year via bank statements to the Home Office in order to avoid being kicked out of the country. The Home Office will not accept printed copies of online statements, even if they look identical to proper statements issued by the bank.

    Therefore, there are some people that will never be able to go paperless, no matter how often people praise how good an idea it is.
    You're spelling is effecting me so much. Im trying not to be phased by it but your all making me loose my mind on mass!! My head is loosing it's hair. I'm going to take myself off the electoral role like I should of done ages ago and move to the Caribean. I already brought my plane ticket, all be it a refundable 1.

    Going paperless is a good idea. Such an example like this thread.

    I might be wrong, but can't you pay a small fee, like 50p or something to get that one off bit of information? and still stay paperless.

    I swear you can.

    Do you think you are a better person when you opened someone's post, read the content, then destroyed it? What a real world.

    Yes, but that's 50p more than I need to spend if I simply don't go paperless!

    Also, they require a year's worth of statements every year (so essentially every statement). Therefore, I'm essentially paying the bank £6.00 for what I could get for free if I simply don't go paperless.

    This is a money saving site, and spending money unnecessarily is not moneysaving! ;)

    Considering they stole my previous post and gear why not?
