What is Identity Theft?

It's a grim fact that fraudsters are getting more skilled at identity theft.

They'll try raiding bins, skimming credit cards- anything to get their hands on your personal information so they can take out mortgages, loans and credit cards in your name.

Often people don't realise they've been a victim of fraud until months later, when they find themselves liable for thousands of pounds of debt through no fault of their own.

Identity theft can damage

  • Your reputation
  • Your credit card rating
  • Even your job prospects
