I received out of the blue letter dated July 24th from Next thanking me for a credit card application which I did not make. When I telephoned customer services to inform them I did not apply for a Next card they put me to the fraud team and the fraud team informed me that someone attempted on July 24th to purchase in my name, but on July 25th the attempt was identified as fraud and the transaction declined.
Well done NEXT fraud team.

Sometimes it feels like half the world is trying to steal from the other half.
Truly sickening 😕1 -

Check asap all credit reference agencies for credit application's and check your details are correct.
Check all bank and credit cards accounts you have for transactions you don't know about.2
