Attempted banking fraud using my details- what to do?

[andyc]

I have had a number of events recently that coincide with a new tenancy in a HMO.
I have had 3 incidents of someone trying to open a Bank account and mobile phone account in my name.They obviously dont know my details so have been unable to do so ,so far.

Police-no crime committed so not interested.

Any suggestions as to what to do?

So how did you find out?
At what address?
Do you have copies of apps?

They obviosly DO KNOW some of your details to attempt i your name ?

Protective Registration is a service offered by CIFAS that helps to protect those whose identity is at risk due to crime or loss of data.

A CIFAS warning flag is placed against your address marked Protective Registration which indicates the individual has been recorded on the CIFAS database for their protection. CIFAS Members when undertaking a search against your address will see "CIFAS-DO NOT REJECT-VALIDATION REQUIRED".

As a result of the entry, CIFAS Members will undertake additional verification checks to ascertain that the applicant is genuine and not a fraudster trying to commit identity theft. This may mean you personally experience delays while your application is verified, but offers reassurance that your identity is protected against fraudulent applications in your name.

They know because they live in one of my properties.All my properties get junk mail in my name all the time such as Loan and credit card applications!!
Doesnt take a brain surgeon to open the envelope and apply for one in my name.
I now have all correspondance in my name forwarded to my office.
