Oh I think we can be sure they are all being read, meer53, probably unhappily, and by the card providers also. Afterall, it keeps getting your attention doesn't it?

Large corporate interests do not shed this type of bad press by doing nothing.

But i'm not a CRA. I think you'll find they're not reading this at all or if they are they're having a good laugh.

I am sure some of the weaker minds have had a good laugh, but he who laughs last laughs longest I find.

You are not a CRA but from previous posts I thought I'd noticed from you, you seem to have a interest in fraud involving credit cards from a provider viewpoint perhaps? Are you having a good laugh ?

I'm having a laugh at your posts. You seem obsessed with trying to make them take action. It's not going to happen.

I no longer have any interest in fraud involving credit cards. I do have experience of dealing with CRA's and removing information. I work for a lender.

I don't want to be involved in your crusade, i feel you're going about this in completely the wrong way. Spend your time on contacting the right people and let them look into it for you. Posting the same thing again and again on a forum isn't going to change things.

I think most people are laughing at you! You seem to be living in a complete world of your own. A land where you are oblivious to your surroundings. Anyway, go out, stop looking at your PC screen and find a crusade that's a tad more fun!

Well then surely you can see the general security hole that permitted this new account to be set up with nothing but a partial name and address, and for it to persist for two months (almost three now) with no alert raised despite it immediately going out of order too ?

You may not wish to be involved in any crusade (and I think we need a few more paid, or rich or principled soldiers for one of those!) but will you not comment on at least the simple matter of a security hole queried above?

A campaign is the polite term for what I think is required to get improvement.

Most people will laugh at anyone who has a finger pointed at them in ridicule. It is a form of hysteria - a wish to belong to the herd. It may be reason enough for you to avoid the stigma yourself, but it is not anything I live by.

I don't see any security holes. I'm not involved in your situation.

You need to raise your issues with the CRA's involved, not strangers on an internet forum. You're making yourself look really stupid.

He/she does have a valid point lol

Really stupid? On the say so of biased commentators ? I don't think so.

What was really stupid was a big ugly card provider with whom I've had business for donkeys' years got taken in by fraudsters tapping in a load of fictitious information that could easily be checked, and should have been checked, but wasn't. The only thing they checked was my partial name and address :mad: and discovered I was a safe bet for anything, which I am, but I am not up for them letting fraudsters work that out just from an address and to exploit it as easily as that. Are you ?

Bravo bank! Bravo CRA that did instant live credit check for bank's instant online decision! Bravo CallCredit who also accepted all that false data at some point subsequently and still hasn't fixed it. Bravo Equifax that told me I had an alert service that would alert me if someone opened a credit account in my name, but they actually have no record of it! That's what's stupid.

I am going about this my way. I call the shots here on MSE for as long as it is ok with them - and it seems it has been ok with them for quite some days, doesn't it?

The thing is, we all know that the CRAs operate via a form of esoteric voodoo...it's just there's nothing us mere mortals can do about it on this forum so you do need to talk to and work with the people who can help, even if that is the "enemy."
