Identity Fraud

Ashmans Fraud Solicitors provide defence for a number of cases falling under the fraud and financial crime banner, including identity fraud solicitors. Identity fraud happens when someone commits identity theft and uses the stolen identity to access services or obtain goods by deception. Identity fraud is often committed in order to:

• Open bank accounts and/or get credit cards
• Access benefits, loans, mortgages etc.
• Purchase goods or services
• Take over the victim’s account(s)
• Take out the victim’s phone contract(s)
• Obtain documents (passports, ID cards, driving licenses) in the victim’s name

Please note – identity theft, i.e. stealing someone’s identity, does not constitute identity fraud. Identity fraud happens only when that identity is used to access goods or services such as the ones listed above. There is a great deal of attention in the media about identity fraud and as a result, there is much more focus from authorities too. If you are facing identity fraud charges, you are facing serious fraud offences with potentially very serious consequences too.
