Tell me about it. As our shredder has broken, I spent what seemed like hours yesterday ripping up paper for the recycling :((( |

We shred, but they could get our name and address from the phone book! |

I shred all accounts every six months. Also, I put a thick black texta through my name and doc's name on chemist's labels. Most envelopes are window type but anything with name, address, account numbers on - all go through the shredder. |

I googled my own name and up came my address and post code, including my middle names which i hate and very seldom use. |

Another thing you can do instead of shredding every little thing ie shopping receipts, is stick in some water then squeeze it up tight into a ball. |

We shred anything with a name and address on, especially junk mail. My sister always worries me because she has a bit of a "head in the sand" approach to her finances and doesn't open her bank statements - all it would take would be a nosy friend (or a friend of a friend) and she could have real problems! I don't think she realises how much information you can compile about someone if you try to. |
