Important Information 

Please note that when we call you, we will need to ask for your bank account number and sort code, as this information is needed to credit your account. If you feel cautious to do this, we can arrange to send you vouchers.  It is important that you know that Age UK Cambridgeshire and Peterborough staff WILL NOT ask for your long card number or the 3-digit security code.

BE SCAM AWARE:

• The Household Support Fund will not be paid on the same day as our phone call.
• Our staff will not ask for the long bank card details or the security number on the card.
• Our staff will always give their full name and contact details, so the caller can make enquiries to verify who we are.
• We are happy to talk to family members or carers.
• We do ask for bank account details to make the payment – However, we only ask for the account number, sort code and name which appears on the account. This information will allow a deposit to be made into the account but cannot give access to make a withdrawal of money from the account.
