HMRC Does It Again!

Obviously concerned about the DVLA's attempts to become the "Department Most Likely To Lose Your Personal Details", HMRC have only gone and done it again!

This time they've lost a "data cartridge" containing the names, addresses, dates of birth, National Insurance numbers and pension contribution details of 6500 people from the North West of England. The data was sent by courier to the HMRC from Countrywide Assured in September, signed for by the HMRC, and then lost somewhere.

Having previously lost details belonging to people with children and the poor, perhaps this is their way of targetting pensioners just so no-one feels left out.
