| Act now to avoid blunders at banks
IT WAS a bad week for the banks. Consumer watchdog the Office of Fair Trading announced an in-depth investigation into current accounts; City policemen at the Financial Services Authority ordered new refunds for credit insurance; the banks' clearing service admitted failing to pay hundreds of thousands of salaries on time; and hackers have stolen the credit and debit card details of 45 million TK Maxx customers. So how will consumers know if they are caught up in any of these developments, and what should they be doing to protect their bank accounts and financial arrangements? .

DA: Turlock woman used DeMartini's data for credit cards
A Turlock woman has been charged with using the identity of Stanislaus County Supervisor Jim DeMartini to obtain credit cards used to make approximately $10,000 in purchases. The Stanislaus County District Attorney's office has charged Serena Essapour, 21, of fraudulently using DeMartini's Social Security number from a loan document in several credit card applications submitted over the internet. She was arrested on July 11 and goes to trial on May 4. Essapour entered not guilty pleas in October on charges of false impersonation, misuse of personal identifying information and grand theft. The alleged crimes were committed between May 16 and June 16, 2006. Essapour made purchases of clothing and jewelry and ATM withdrawals during that time, confirmed DeMartini. “I think the case is so solid that it looks like an open and shut case to me," noted DeMartini.
