Hi
We moved to France from the UK (now moving onto Oz in case you are wondering!) and both my husband and I have been victims of this. Since we have left, we have had people trying to use cards that we haven't applied for, cards that we thought we had cancelled when we left have been used and balances used right up. I couldn't apply for an Experian Credit Check because we didn't have a current UK address - if anyone knows any way around this, please let me know, my parents-in-law who have received mail for us even though I never redirected it there (?) have had demands for payment from bailiff/debt collection companies in both name and my hubbie's and I have certainly NEVER lived there.
The problem we face now is that before moving on to Oz we are moving back to the UK for a few months as we have sold our house here and thought it better to spend a few months near friends and family, but we will go back to credit problems. I am hoping that once in the UK I can then get an Experian report and try and sort out what has been done in our names. It's a bit of a nightmare.
I don't really know what the answer is, because I thought I took all precautions to prevent anything happening, but there you go.
I have written to everyone informing them we don't live in the UK and that it must be id theft, and hope that does the trick.
Good luck anyone who might be dealing with it now........
