    If the expiry date was listed too then he should arrange to have the debit card canceled and a new one issued. Even if not he might want to do it to be safe.

    I'd also tell whoever he was going to send the credit agreement to in case it arrives with the address changed to be the frausters.

    Same as Reaper, I'd treat it as a stollen credit card..

    Also inform the bank they have this info as this could form part of telephone security for some banks.
    Nothing's free.....but we'll see what we can do!

    that I think your brother should check his credit report - if someone has this info then could they not apply for credit using your brother's details?
