    If the details she put were the same as they would have been on the 27th, e.g. no visitors staying overnight, no-one in the house was born/died between the dates ....she will be fine.

    Thanks for that - I tried to reassure her but she was worried someone would come banging on her door! :o

  • my friend had a man in a yellow work jacket and a clipboard come round a few days before the 27 march saying they have on the system that they havent recieved her form, dopey mary gave her form to him.

    it wasnt till the next day when i said about filling my form in online because its due, she told me about them coming round and i told her that it must be a scam as its not due yet so why would they be sending people round already

    she had to contact the police and the census people. the census people confirmed it was not them

    but shes now panicking thinking what these scammers are going to use her info for.

    Hmm, I'm not sure how filling in another will help. That will mean that Mingle's submitted two sets of responses which is hardly good for the accuracy of the stats.

    But the forms are all barcoded and tied to the properties, and the system will be set up to detect duplicates.

    Name, address, date of birth, possibly place of birth, makes it easier to get mother's maiden name which is often used as a security question.
