Just got the letter from them that tells me a file containing some data about me was nicked in May 2017 Nice of them to finally get around to warning me. I particularly liked their advice to consider going ex directory - that's really handy considering they gave away my phone number Oh and their kind offer for me to give them even more information to use their credit services for a year free Its particularly annoying as they are a company I have never had any dealings with - all the data they have is data provided by banks insurance companies etc when doing credit checks on me. good article though not much help on The Register if anyone else on here is affected https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/11/01/equifax_breach_uk_notification/
