Someone managed to change the address to somewhere in London on my Barclaycard last month and had a new card sent out. Luckily I noticed a dodgy transaction and the fraud people at Barclaycard called me about the address change so it got sorted out quite quickly. Address was changed back, transactions were refunded and they put a password on my account that I now need whenever I call them.
Funny part is that two of the fraudulent transactions were for identity theft protection. Obviously can't have enough protection on a stolen card.
Scary part is how they managed to change the address in the first place.
Anyway I was checking my experian credit report and saw that the address in London is now an entry in the linked addresses section. Another entry shows the address being changed back to my real address.
Is this anything to worry about? Anything else I need to do?
Hopefully unrelated but I've been getting calls on my landline from "credit solutions" to unknown people with strange addresses for years now. I tell them that the person doesn't live here and it stops for a while then starts again with a new name and address.
