Payslips and Bank statements lost in the post to mortgage company - big prob?

[Jackaroo]

I realise I need to request new copies of my payslips, are bank stuff is online, but otherwise, do I need to do anything/can I do anything?
Can people use these to start a new life?!
I'm really cross with DH, I'd never send this in the post, at least not without tracking. Would have taken them into the branch
Anyway, any advice mightily helpful, Ta.

I bet the mortgage company lost them, not the post office. They lost our application THREE times - even though we had taken everything into the bank branch AND faxed it over.

If that's the case then don't worry, they are probably in an enormous drift of paperwork including my 3 lost applications, and I seriously doubt anyone there is clued up enough to work an identity theft. They can't even open an envelope fgs.

lol, actually you're right, I ended up in huge action with Lloyds because my bridging loan kicked in only because they kept not having things I'd sent them. Doesn't bode well does it? I thought RBS would be quite good seeing as we are moving from their sister company One Account... maybe I won't freak just yet.
