No relevance to ITFC at all, but i thought some of you might be interested in this. A story of a lifetime dealing with beaurocracy identifying you as someone with a different name.

The purchase of my first house fell through at 3pm on the day before I moved because someone with a similar name to mine who had lived in the same road had been declared bankrupt. Luckily we had an understanding landlord who let us stay on an extra week in our rented property while we sorted out the relevent paperwork to confirm it wasn't me.
Anyone else had similar experiences? [Post edited 4 Apr 2017 13:03]

Many years ago I received a speeding fine for a different Lord Lucan but that's about it.
Years ago credit was applicable to properties so people could buy an address with credit issues. Thankfully that has now changed . |  |

I read that last night. A bit of a bu gger for her that she shared the same name with someone born on the same day. Also, black Lisa called white Lisa 'Ivory', bit racist? |  |

Yes, you'd think that with her history she would consider all white people to be wonderful. | | | |
