Just wondering...

[pez]

There's been a lot of talk about identity fraud, keeping your personal details secure, etc etc. Some coworkers have taken to buying a mini shredder to shred their documents like bank statements and bills.

I'm sort of contemplating getting one too. Is it a good idea or is it unnecessary? o_o

I tend to keep hold of bank statements etc anyway (just as well when the taxman came calling) but have a shredder for when I do want to clear things out. You can get them very cheaply. The most important thing, though, is to keep an eye on your accounts; I've never had any problem querying a transaction with my bank.

I keep mine, too, but now have statements dating back to 7 years ago and probably the ones before I started a full time job aren't worth keeping anymore.

Will probably check out the shredders at Woolworths and Argos...
