I’m putting this on here as a bit of a warning, advice.
My husband recently received a letter from the company that deals with the financing of our motor insurance (we pay monthly). There were 3 policies-originally we thought they were for his work van, my car and his Landrover - but when we looked at the amounts and the start dates, they didn’t tie in. So he phoned the insurer. They were fraudulent. Someone had got hold of his name and address, bank account details, set up 3 insurance policies, to be paid monthly. My husband had to notify the credit company that they were fraudulent, check that his own motor insurance credit policies were still in place, he had to contact the new insurer and let them know that the policies they’d set up in his name were fraudulent, and then he contacted Action Fraud. They took all the details, gave him a reference number , and then told him that it wouldn’t be dealt with by the police because it’s not viewed as a crime. If he had had money taken from his account, only then would it be a crime. Later that week, he had exactly the same thing happen again - 3 more policies set up fraudulently, same process all over again-Not a crime. I really don’t get how these people can ever be stopped from stealing people’s identity and attempting to steal money from them if the act of doing that is not seen as a crime - or am I just very old fashioned?
Advice - shred, rip into tiny pieces, anything with your personal details on. My husband thought he had - something must have slipped through somehow, and it’s been an absolute nightmare, he’s a very unhappy bunny.
