Website is back online and re-energised

On Sunday I took this website offline to move it to a new server. At 23.00 (10/09/2019) it was re-launched in a new minimalist style on a brand new CMS installation which makes it easier to use and of course with enhanced security around it. Enjoy!

Personal story on “identity theft”, it is so easy to do, I think we are all in the wrong job!

This article is from mid-2017 and I just decided to publish it today after re-investigting the topic in June this year, and still finding poor results.

I was happily working at home today (mid 2017) on the phone and the post came. Two envelopes; 1. A congratulations on your new home card since last week I bought a place or really the bank did. 2. A more interesting envelope from a well-known online retailer saying I owe them £1300 and I have missed the payment deadline. Three A4 sheets and one was titled “Notice of Default Sums under the Consumer Credit Act 1974. Erh I was thinking since I have not used that online store in years.

The name rang a bell and I will admit I was wrong here. Not that long ago came a letter from the same online retailer saying your credit statement is zero and your limit is x. I simply read the letter, shredded it and ignored it. Why? Because I have bought from them before and had letters before. Straight on to the phone and they transferred me to their fraud team. They said you have been a victim of identity theft, alarm bells going off and all brain focus has transferred to this phone call.
