MY IDENTITY WAS STOLEN- My experience of identity theft in UK

[@herpennypotential40]

My god this is scary!! Didnt think people went as far as going into an actual bank and try to pretend to be you!! Thats sooo scary thanks for flagging and sharing your experience!

[@haradaudaniel2108]

Same happened to me. Everything started from November last year and still continue this year. I noticed on my credit file reports, and letters from banks. It was very emotional at the beginning and I didn’t no what to do and what to believe, I lost trusting people and friends, believing like someone close to me is doing this, because I didn’t see any other way. This is not a good experience, I am very suspicious at everything now, and starting alert.

I just realised I have fraudulent x2 bank accounts and x3 loans on my name. My credit report is absolutely shocking. After some reading online .. you can also set a notice of correction password to prevent searches and overall report changes.. good video 👍🏻

[@ElephantBobcat]

Thank you. Someone broke into my apt and stole personal doc (usa). Shame on them.

[@Windy888City]

Thank you for this Sarah. Very valuable information . . .

[@TheWellnessAbbey]

Thanks for these tips, Sarah. I'll set up the alerts now.

This sounds so scary 😧 it’s never been so hard to get access to your own money yet time n time again people seem to get ripped off by these criminals. The banks do very little to stop this I came close one day someone tried to buy a lamp shade 180 miles from where I lived and first direct contacted me luckily the payment was declined. Worthwhile video Sarah

[@creatingbalancefinance]

Such an interesting video. Sorry you had this experience Sarah! Popping off to check my credit file again! Wishing you all the best and look forward to your next video!

Any advice on some who has stolen lots of money from some ones accounts, even though reports been filled nothing been done, more than 40,000 taken, identity fraud, & more, but no one is doing anything. Lots of evidence, including the culprit calling the banks pretending to be the customer. This crime was a simple taking advantage of a person by a family member. There at a loss with what to do, helping some one any advice please, Thanks

[@sanitarushin3847]

I would like to know whose using my identity do need go to the police station report it.

[@holamissmusica]

Unfortunately this happened to me. Someone created a false passport and created new accounts. Horrifying. Have been advised to get Victim Support.

[@janeyann8316]

When I tried to look at my credit rating, the company doing it was asking for all kinds of personal information that I didn't feel comfortable giving, such as my bank account details. A pity our own banks can't do these credit rating checks, as they already have this personal information. Why would I trust some random company I have never dealt with before with extremely personal data? What is in it for these companies to provide this information for free anyway?

Pretty, fockin', scary! Nice video - my boss and his wife were recent victims too.

They can even get mortgages in your name.
