Some one using my address for bank accounts

Not sure if it's already been said on here but you might get a better response if you went in to a branch of the bank and spoke to them there

System

I'm not sure what the OPs issue is?
I got my post redirected for two years to catch anything.

I suspect the OP doesn't have an issue as they haven't been back to comment:cool:

Happens so often, perhaps they all forget their login details?

I read the original post as "someone (possibly known to me) is using my address to pretend to their bank that they live here and I don't want them to be able to do that anymore, how can I stop them?"

If, as it appears, the banks do a residence check when you apply for an account and then never check again it is an issue for all of us as it potentially allows fraudsters an easy ride. I think at the very least banks should investigate when items of mail get returned to them... but some other posters on here seem to disagree :shocked:

I've been in a branch (Santander) and the !!!!less gimp they had serving customers couldn't even grasp that by sending me their customer's mail they were inviting a fraud risk. He literally didn't know what to do.
I have since found out (unofficially, from another bank employee) by writing 'Person has died' on the envelope and returning it places a block on the account and the post should cease. It creates a problem for the (still living) customer, but I figure if they're too lazy to deal with an important address change at their own bank that's their problem.
