Equifax: About those 400,000 UK records we lost? It's now 15.2M. Yes, M for MEELLLION

I believe that it is still possible to obtain a Birth Certificate for anyone with minimal effort and then use this to request a UK passport as highlighted by Frederick Forsyth in his 1971 novel "Day of the Jackal". Certainly this was the case a couple of years back.

So your data may have been stolen form the CRA and it could be used for fraudulent activity such as obtaining credit etc.. This will all impact you Credit Rating, but you can check this by... signing... up.. to... a ...CRA! Mmmmm!

Re: Easy

**@!** paying for Brexit! If it's my personal data, it's me that is impacted directly and me that should get the money!

That's assuming it is Security Data. You can't lie about your Date of Birth when applying for Credit......well you can, but it's Fraud!

Stand up who HASN'T been hit in the Equifax mega-hack – whoa, whoa, sit down everyone
