Sounds like a nightmare. I had a few grand on my credit card a few years ago but that was just one source so easy to stop.
Any lessons learnt that could prevent something like this happening to others?

I'm in the process of registering passwords with all of the main credit companies. It's frustrating that you can't do it once and they share the information.
Yesterday a bill for another mobile phone contract arrived, this time for EE. No doubt I'll be getting one from O2 and the remaining providers soon...
