Card Care & Identity Protection
Protecting your Identity

As an AngelCare member you have access to a confidential helpline which provides first line support and simple effective information to help you prevent, detect and resolve concerns regarding theft or possible theft of your identity.

One stolen piece of information is all it takes. A criminal needs just a few of your personal details to steal your identity.

Using information found in your dustbin, on your PC, on till receipts or in your mail, an identity thief can open credit cards, arrange loans and make purchases in your name, without your knowledge.

To register or change your card details please telephone us on 0845 3034005.

Your mail

The post is a valuable source of information for a criminal. But there are some simple ways to prevent personal information being stolen from your mail:

Always use your full address, including postcode, in all correspondence to minimise the risk of your mail going astray.
If you move home, always get your mail redirected from the day you move. As an AngelCare member, Keycare can do this for you. Call 0845 303 4005 for details.
If you are going away, ask Royal Mail to hold your mail for you.

 


Your rubbish

Your rubbish is a target for fraudsters. Identity thieves can find all sorts of personal information in household rubbish. A few simple measures will keep them away:

Always shred letters, bills, insurance forms, receipts, unwanted mail and any other important documents before putting them in the bin. These all carry personal information that could be useful to fraudsters.
Use heavy duty bin liners and tie them up securely.
If you go away, ask a neighbour to put your dustbin out to be emptied. The longer your bin remains full, the longer it is a target for criminals.
