Exactly, the details on that paper are the exact details needed to set it up (otherwise they wouldn't have asked).
See the above example with signing you up to everything. Say they do sign me up to Lovefilm, a few 100 similar things would require me to call up all these companies to cancel them or push me way over into the realms of debt. And can you imagine what it would be like to phone up all the charities to cancel? The amount of OH WOE IS ME they'll give you.

Yes, but WHY would someone do it, it my point?
there is absolutely fucking nothing for them to gain by doing it (unless they have a vendetta against you) and an awful lot to lose (being prosecuted for fraud)

That's exactly why someone would do it, financial gain is not the only motive for people to do nafarious things.... sometimes it's for the lols, sometimes it's for revenge, sometimes it's just 'cus they can.
Yes, there is a lot to potentially lose, fraud and all that, which would stop a lot of people, but not all people.

sorry, had to work there
if you're worried about that than I suggest "don't be cunt to other people" is a better mantra than "never hand out you DD details"

You're being excessively paranoid though, mate, it's an awful lot of trouble for someone to go to in the name of "mildly inconveniencing" you.
