Hiya guys,

first off hope you all had a good christmas and have a happy new year!

ive had a drunken discussion which still follows me days later, right then when you deed poll, say you change your name to 'Teresa Green' (for arguments sake)

If you did not disclose your change of name, eg for the army, banks, etc is there any way of finding out your actually mr 'ben dover' (again for arguments sake)

So say you have a criminal record for buggery and want to join the army and change your name and they do a criminal record check you would flag up as 'teresa green' with no criminal record, but if you have notifed the police you was previously 'ben dover' it would flag up? right or wrong?

And next, you have the shittest credit rating, no one would touch you or even look at you nor give you a penny if you was dying, if you had the new name and again it wasnt linked to your old would you techinally speaking have a normal credit rating...

So basically if you kept it quiet could you be stealth and change your identity complete?

Ive got 24 crate of carling on this so im hoping im right in saying the above is a load of shite and you cant get around a new identity
