FRAUD. Ive had a contract taken out in my name


I’ve reported this at the end of June. I’ve contacted ID with the action fraud number and I have been given a fraud number by yourselves. I have still not received any response from yourselves. I have tried countless times to get this removed from my credit score, as I am now now able to take a new contract out. I tried to get a new contract with yourselves and it have been denied

can any one help as I’m fed up of trying to call with no resolution 

thank you

Hello @Victoria g,

I’m really sorry to hear you’ve fallen victim to fraud.

If you have reported this, then you would have been advised that this investigation takes up to 30-days.

Once confirmed as fraudulent, the Fraud Team will send a letter to you confirming any action taken.

 

If it’s surpassed 30-days, please let us know.

Mohammed

Someone has set up an ID Mobile account fraudulently using my details and this has now been added to my credit file impacting my credit score and affecting my job, I need to get this sorted ASAP as do not want to be in a position where i lose my job becsuse of my credit report. I have set up a report on the police action fraud website but would like ID Mobile to get to the bottom of this as well, and from looking on here seems quite a few people are have the same issues with identity theft. This is unacceptable and ID mobile should be carrying out further checks on people when they are taking out any sort of financial agreement.

Hi Greg

I had 4 mobile phones taken out in my name in one day. I can't understand how this is allowed to happen and more checks should be made. Just be persistent and keep on at the companies. I had trouble with o2 and it had taken them 6 months to sort. But my credit score is still impacted now. Keep a record of all the contact. I've had to go to the financial ombudsman because of o2 taken so long

hope it gets resolved soon

Hi This has also happened to me. I have spoken to your customer service teams multiple times now. They keep saying they can’t do anything for me and they have reported it to your fraud team who will contact me within 30 days and I have not been contacted. The first time I reported this was March 2022. I spoke to someone 22.03.24 and they also said the same thing. I even game them my email and phone number to contact me and I am still waiting for any communication. Please could you advise on what I can do. Thank you

Hey there @Amy Mcfadzean, we’re deeply sorry to hear you’ve been a victim of fraud.

 

The CS team are correct in suggesting the fraud team will contact you within 30-working days from when it was raised. Have you received no contact whatsoever, even since raising in March 2022?

 

If you confirm that’s the case, we’ll drop you a PM to discuss further.

 

Thank you,

Tyler
