Call You and Yours: Identity Fraud
Identity fraud - when your personal details are stolen and used to commit fraud - is affecting more people than ever before. How has identity fraud affected you?
In this episode of Call You and Yours we are asking: How has identity fraud affected you or someone you know?
Identity theft happens when fraudsters access enough personal information about someoneβs identity to commit a fraud. A person's name, address and date of birth provide enough information to create another βyouβ. Criminals can use these details to open bank accounts, take out loans or insurance in the victims name. It can have significant negative financial impact on victims and can be very difficult for victims to resolve.
So how has identity fraud affected you? Have you had your identity stolen? How did it impact you?
We'll have advice from James Jones, Head of Consumer Affairs at Experian.
