UK: Tesco Bank fraud risk after data lost in post

Posted on July 30, 2010 by Dissent

Ed Monk reports:

Tesco Bank has lost the personal details of dozens of customers, leaving them exposed to the risk of fraud, after staff sent unprotected personal data in the post.

It is thought the customers affected were already in angry dispute with Tesco Bank over charges for controversial payment protection insurance on Tesco credit cards when papers containing names, addresses and account details were sent with no protection through the standard postal service.
