    Check you credit files with the credit reference agencies?
    That will show if anyone has opened a cc account in your name at your address.

  • thanks for the reply, i have checked with experian and nothing.

    I eventually got a reply from amazon, the person who hacked my account has used a stolen credit card - why they could'nt just say that instaed of worrying me thinking someone had opened up a visa in my name

    You may also want to check Equifax and optionally call credit.
    I think for the sake of £4 I would do it.
