Someone nicked my identity ... kind of ...

[Mordac]

Yep, spoke to them this morning. They said they were launching an investigation and I should contact the police. I phoned the police and they didn't care as the insurance company was investigating it.

The "crime" is against the insurance company and it's up to them to report it to the police.

There was a law change about 6-7 years ago making it the institution's responsibility to report crimes to the police.

Most don't bother unless they have clear evidence of fraud as they know if they can find the person they can make it difficult to get any sort of insurance.

yep like credit card cloning or bank fraud makes the crime figures smaller.

Someone has taken out a van insurance policy using my name and address.

not bad but Greenlake would have found a picture with JC standing next to it.

JC VD seems to have a real sense of humour and loves to take the mick out of himself.

They should fraudulently change the crime figures and then add one to the number.

My cousin used to run a handy man service called Tim'll fix it.

Strangely the name was changed in a hurry back in 2012.

As an aside, does this apply to mortgage fraud? If so, you wouldn't know where I could find out more about this please?
