Firstly bank employees have been opening accounts by the thousand as the personal bankers have been getting a bonus for every current account they open . Alot of these have been opened with fake documents and the actual person using the account is unknown. Also the bank system has been slow to act even when they are aware that current accounts have been used in fraud and the account still continues to run months after they have been given the evidence of such . Also since the Data Protection Act came into force they are slow to respond to requests and also fail to give the information required when asked by the investigating authority . This has caused thousands of more , if not tens of thousands of Production Order requests via a Crown Court . Just ask any court official , i have never had one refused , they are jsut being awkward. Also they have too few staff investigating the frauds which delays everything too. An example of such is that a specific account had received nearly 8000 payments into it over a 6 month period . The user was selling concert tickets which he did not have , this totalled over £80000 . Once we got into the account we found that they had received information about the account being used for fraud 3 months before this 6 month period started ETC ......... Wait for a Watchdog/Panorama type programme that may be on the horizon , if its not blocked by the powers that be for causing panic
