    I thought if they suspected you of fraud they would follow you and had been doing that for ages . I know they can and have access to bank account statements in request without the persons permission. 
    And a lot more besides!!

    Tesco's Clubcard and Sainsburys Nectar hold a vast amount of data. All of this is available is used to determine if your lifestyle matches your known income.
    On top of that all of the credit registers are open to check what you are doing as regards credit cards, opening bank accounts etc
