We got a call from O2 asing if we've been getting bills sent to our house in someone else's name.

And we'd just got two for two different mobiles.

They worked out someone was going into mobile phone shops gettign their hands on a new phone but giving our address to send the bills to.

Anyone else had similar problems?

    Yes, they couldn't give me all the details of the case, but a few years back it seems someone (they couldn't tell me who) had taken out a mortgage in my name, using my N.I. number and everything.

    Also my mum has had a couple of letters from catalogues for people she's never heard of to her address saying they owe money, and she's lived there for 22 years.
