That said I would be hesitant to publish any of my financial records unless I had taken steps to minimise problems. I refer you to the Jeremy Clarkson case and would suggest you contact your bank accordingly http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/7174760.stm Quote Clarkson published details of his Barclays account in the Sun newspaper, including his account number and sort code. He even told people how to find out his address. "All you'll be able to do with them is put money into my account. Not take it out. Honestly, I've never known such a palaver about nothing," he told readers. But he was proved wrong, as the 47-year-old wrote in his Sunday Times column. "I opened my bank statement this morning to find out that someone has set up a direct debit which automatically takes £500 from my account," he said. "The bank cannot find out who did this because of the Data Protection Act and they cannot stop it from happening again. "I was wrong and I have been punished for my mistake."
