Discs missing from HMRC

Oh Dear!

"The missing information contains details of all Child Benefit recipients: records for 25 million individuals and 7.25 million families. "

That includes me then!!!

just goes to show ALL companies are - when it comes down to it - as useless as each other!

means my bank details are floating around somewhere too!

Remember being at one of the Inland Revenues biggest clearing offices (Cumbernauld) & seeing cheques worth 6 & 7 figures just lying on desks.

A grass deserves everything they get!

im glad i aint got nee bairns.

Why? I bet nowt happens with it. Plus you have no money for anyone to steal.

i don't know why this country gives money to anyone who has children. It's beyond a joke. People who are on high incomes can still claim stuff just because they have children.:spangled:

Nah, I think you can only claim if your total household income is under 60k.

Would you trust these people with all the details required for the ID cards? At the minute, id have to say no.

That's a high income up here though.

Is there any sort of reward if someone finds them?

child support is for low income families - anyone earning even half a COMBINED decent wages gets fuck all.

plus, you've got to reapply EVERY year depending on your income, with massive forms to fill in - the new system is shite.

u earn even a tenner more a month (be it over time, tax rebate, etc) they penalise u the following year. there's no way any family can sensibly budget or rely on the payments they receive

Its a total joke, I get no where near what I got last year

I see they were lost in Washington.................I bet Mick & Dan found the CDs & thought it was one of there mix CD's with a random name like "BA HMRC ALL YA WANNA KNAW PART 1"

ha ha lol, only our government could make a cock up like that.

@ the security measures taken and meetings of late at my place, from getting in with a mars bar wrapper inside out to now full checks on passes....

Im pleased i deal with Overseas Pensions and not based in Washington for CSA cos i can see it being madness lately, some fuckers probs gone on holiday and stashed them in some drawers to bypas the job.

The Daily Mail as well "Staff openly seen wearing plain clothes and in a cap and desks messy"

Since when has what you wear effected daily workflow apart from when lads are perving for a thong or g string hanging out on a bird?

Cunts.

Iv received a letter today apologising that my details were on the discs along with my bank details and being told to watch out for anything suspicious on my bank statements etc

NNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

the downfall of society is upon us - messy desks are 1 step from armageddon

I got one too fooking clowns...

Did you see in the Chronicle about the woman who got the letter aplogising and claiming they are doing everything they can to make sure nothing like that happens again - it wasnt even her name and national insurance number it was someone elses
