Received W-8BEN in mail. D.O.B wrong

I received a paper copy in the post for end of the tax year. My date of birth is wrong and is not what I sent to Zazzle. 

Any reason for this?

I am in the UK, should this be a concern?

To be sure - is the month written out or are month and day both numbers? If numbers, are the month and day numbers switched?

Everything is completely off.

I’ve also had this happen on a past tax slip. I wouldn’t worry about it.

Mine too. Also my tax number is wrong and I have apparently earned nothing.

I spent months changing tiny details on the w8 form to make it fit the exact criteria zazzle demand and this is what you get in return.

The same thing happened to me last year. Completely useless.

Same here, also in the UK. I wish I was as young as they think I am.
