As you know, 25 million people (a staggering 40% of the total UK population), are now at risk of ID fraud through the loss of those two CDs by H M Revenue & Customs.  Even before this though, ID fraud had been increasing at an alarming rate - and is now believed to affect 100,000 Britons and cost £1.7 billion a year!

What's more, it takes the average person 467 days to realise that they are a victim - by which time the damage done can be enormous.

In response to recent events, we have now formally launched our Identity Fraud Health Check Service.

Option 1 - For a fixed fee of £150 this new service will help you make sure that you do not become a victim.  Specifically you will get:

1. A detailed "Protecting yourself against identity fraud" report.
2. A one-to-one meeting to discuss the recommendations of that report.
3. A personalised action plan setting out everything you need to do to protect yourself.
4. Unlimited phone support for 12 months on any concerns or questions you have related to identity fraud.
5. Immediate help to make sure that you protect yourself from the possible consequences of the 25 million sets of data lost by HMRC.

Option 2 - if you would prefer to deal with ID fraud yourself, we will be happy to supply you with a free guide and a list of companies that provide identity theft fraud insurance.

In our opinion, however, doing nothing is not an option.

When your ID is stolen it can obviously cause major problems for you, including money being taken from your bank account, money borrowed in your name or goods being brought on credit in your name and illegal acts committed in your name!

And yet, some simple precautions can greatly reduce the risks.

So, whether you want to adopt a DIY approach, or would like us to support you, we believe that this is an issue that you cannot afford to ignore.

Please tell us immediately which of those two routes you want to follow ie (a) you want us to support you via our Identity Fraud Healthcheck Service or (b) the DIY approach (in which case we will send you a free guide).

Either way, as you can see, we are committed to ensuring that you do not become a victim.
