As per title, is there really any need to shred credit card bills, surely its just another case of scaremongering. I just rip then up then bin them.

I shred 'em, no point in making identity theft easy for them.

i have a open fire so they get chucked in there.

depends where you live

i rip mine and bin them but my bin is in a locked enclosure and lifted privatly .

i see a guy go through bins on my way to work on residential streets so better to be safe than sorry if your bin is accessible.

a bit like hiding valubles in your car , dont make it easy for them and they will move on to the next easy target

Thats well dodgy, their is technology where you can retrieve the details of burnt letters through the smoke patterns that come out of a chimney. Seen it on a programme, be careful.

Anything with my name on it gets shredded

I shred them - THEN Burn them

Lots of ash though

The shredder contents make great starter material for the bonfire in the garden, where I 'recycle' anything that doesn't fit in the tiny wheelybin that gets collected fortnightly.

Fireplace. But actually I store all my bills for about the last 10 years. I have absolutely no idea why!
