Halifax is the bank that the most identity fraud attempts on me have gone through. I had like a two year battle with them as somebody was trying time and time again to open accounts using my address but with various names. My personal fave was 'Mrs. Data. Robot'. I don't even haven account with them but had applied for for a year or so before. This was right at the time that Watchdog had reported various banks - including them - throwing out applicant details in insecure manners. It took nearly two years for them to even talk to me in a non-hostile way about what was happening and they continually lied to me about trying to help.
