- There are orders you don't recognise.
- You've received emails for orders you didn’t place.
- Personal details on your account have been changed - such as your billing address, telephone number or email address.
- You've received deliveries of products you didn’t order.
What to do if you think someone has accessed your account:
- Please notify us immediately. See our article on reporting fraud / identity theft for more information.
- Reset your Home Essentials password as soon as possible.

Tips on setting up your new password
- Choose a new password that’s at least 8 characters long and includes a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols (such as !#*+=&£$).
- Reset passwords on any other accounts that used your old password. This includes your email account, other retail accounts or social media accounts.
