So everything you need to commit fraud.
We’re going to have to come up with a way of identifying ourselves online without having to hand over all and sundry to some unknown entity who, when the shit hits the fan goes “whoops! Yea, sorry about that”.
Once they’ve processed the DBS application, why on earth is this information still sat on their servers? There’s no need for them to be retaining NI numbers, etc.
