I was tidying up my room yesterday and found an opened bank statement as well as an unopened T-mobile bill. In my hurry I threw them in the bin without thinking about it and emptied my bin into the big one outside.

This morning I woke up and realised I shouldn't have put them into the bin without shredding them or something so I went outside and the statements have gone (they were in a bag).

Now I am very worried I am going to be defrauded again, what can they do with this information?

Could use that as 2 forms of ID at some places to get credit/goods (at some places, some wont count a mobile and/or need photo id). Set up a DD for goods/services (contract phones for example) using your bank details

Nah, seriously, they could steal your ID.

Who do you bank with? Might be worth speaking to them - there is an upgrade on all Lloyds TSB accounts that incorporates ID Theft 'insurance'
