Has anlyone else heard of this. I hadn't until today. A government introduced acheme whereby a couple of private organisations will record just about everything about you, and keep it on a database. Through Experian and Verizon.

Here we go. The Bullst. Quote "GOV.UK Verify is the new way for you to prove who you are online, so you can use government services safely." Experian exposed 200m US records toidentity thieves last year. The DVLA will use it, and HMRC. Defra is already using, and it has already blown up. Example. If you put a house moce date in wrong (exact is required) it stops you continuing. It wants details of your credit cards, if by any chance you can't remember all of them, Experian will charge you £14.99 to tell you.
