For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.i've been the victim of someone stealing my identity. This person (old flatmate) used all my ID and got 2 credit cards in my name, re-registered my car in their name and stole the rent money.. oh they were fantastic to live with !
This happened to my brother a few years ago.
He lived in my flat for a few years and then after him I had a tenant who stole old post belonging to my brother. He ran up loans totalling about �20,000 plus and got huge amounts of HP. It came to light when he was caught trying to obtain foreign currency and the police informed my brother. It took him a few years to sort everything out.
