Yoshi:
Went to report a fraud this afternoon only to be told by the police that it wouldnt even be investigated as they wouldnt be able to get information they required from a bank!

Am well annoyed, as they said they wouldnt even attempt to obtain a court order for the information :(

So as said, the police are now teethless!

Lord Shagg-Pyle:
what are the circumstances? Please don't tell me it's something to do with an internet or email scam.

Panda:
Many banks have their own Fraud investigation team!

Exactly. When some little  :-# ripped off my card details a couple of years ago it was handled by the bank's in-house fraud squad. I've no idea what the outcome was, but would imagine that they gathered all the evidence they could, possibly compared it with other banks in an effort to determine the source of the leak, and then passed all details to the Police (or CPS? Not 100% sure how this works!) to prepare a prosecution.

Lord Shagg-Pyle:
The Data Protection Act has a lot to answer for, Yoshi. Believe me, being one of the so called 'teethless' ones, I have come across brickwalls thrown up by people who are supposed to be on our side so many times.
Without knowing the full facts, I can't really comment on your particular problem. Saying that, it probably would not be the best idea to stick it on an open forum. If you want to PM me, I'll puzzle over it.
