How to check for bank account to a persons name?

GingerBob_3

ID theft is an interesting subject. Of course, in large part the government is to blame for it. They've effectively forced people to lose control of identity-relevant documents such as passports and driving licences, by insisting that organisations copy them instead of just look at them. Also, the scope of identity checking is far, far wider than it needs to be.

Thanks all for your responses.



Who said anything about charging?

There are big communities of eastern European people. They are registered in a lot of job agencies, have their passport copies there and they barely speak English. The things I have heard - agencies not paying out weeks worth of salary, money disappearing from bank accounts and false debt collectors.

Just yesterday I helped out someone - the guy doesn't speak fluent english and was looking for someone to help him sort an issue. He was receiving text messages from a debt agency. I made the call for him and turns out its to someone else's name - the number was wrong. He was happy to pay 10 pounds for my 30 minutes time knowing that its all safe for him.

And that's what I am getting at - these people can and need to be educated on the fraud activities in the UK. This can be monetized in others ways than directly charging them.

Bit of a contradiction there eh ?

No its not a contradiction there in any way. Those are two non-related statements, that happen to be in one post.

I am not providing any type of business models or plans in this thread, I am just expressing my observations and experiences that there might be a demand for such information or service of some kind. That's why there is this thread - I am asking general questions regarding one idea I had about this.

Clearly there are many things I can do - make a blog and monetize by ads, make and sell an e-book, make free e-book and sell ads to eastern European based businesses. Just to name a few.

In no way am I also capable of discussing any potential problems, concerns or details in this thread. All I am asking for is some general information to have an idea what ID theft protection is all about, so that I can judge the idea better.

Thanks for all of your posts. Looking forward to any more value adding posts and as I have explained myself well enough here I will no more answer to any attacks directed at me. Find someone else to harass with your insecurities. Thanks.

You gave an example of how your service might work. After stating that you weren't talking about charging anyone. Definitely a contradiction.

On another point, if i was asked to help someone by making a phone call for them, i wouldn't dream of charging them £10 for 30 minutes of my time. Just my opinion.

If you need any more info about ID Theft, read AJG384521's link. There is lots of this type of information available on the internet.

Personal abuse on a forum rarely gets the response or help you're looking for by the way. Where are the attacks or harrassment ?

The TUC and citizens advice bureau have websites about living in England for Eastern Europeans. It lists everything from working rights, holidays, sick pay, bank accounts, social issues etc.


CAB also have many people that can speak foreign languages and offer assistance for free.


Not attacking you personally but I don't think your idea has any legs.

I did not gave an example of how this service might work, I asked for how do such services work, explaining that I might want to do something similar.

AJG384521 assumed a service I will provide and assumed that I will charge for it. I made a point that he is assuming I will charge the people, by asking a rhetorical question "Who said anything about charging?" as I was asking for information related to a subject, not input on how to charge such service or monetize such service.

Of-course, he had to follow up by an insult, accusing me of being a criminal, when I explained him that I can monetize my observation of the fact that immigrants are being exploited and are a risk to fraud, in other ways than directly charging these people for any services.

On the second part, I find it completely appropriate to charge 10 pounds for making a trip to someones house, listening and understanding the problem a person has and then making a call for this person, with this person next to me and translating the issue this person is having to English from another language.

When did I accuse you of being a criminal? If your talking about the Godfather comment then I'd search the internet for a sense of humour.

This message is hidden because AJG384521 is on your ignore list.

I blocked you after the godfather comment and I have no intention of looking what you have to say, as from the limited information I have on you as a person I interpret you as a insecure person, a troll or simply a naysayer which is a form of insecurity anyways.

I can only loose emotional energy from reading your posts, so I won't.
