Right Yolanda,
I'll try.
Some muppet in the tax office sent off yours and 24,999,999 others details (including your national insurance number, bank details and date of birth as well of those of your child) to the National Audit Office in October, these details never arrived (they got lost).
Now the government is trying to say that we don't need to panic as they have informed the banks. However they have not uttered a word about the potential of identity theft.
Ipso Facto keep an eye on every little bit of post that comes through and look for anything strange.
