How can I speak to somebody who has been the victim of identity fraud? I am specifically looking for people who have had other people using their details and pretending to be them in order to get finance etc. Not people who have been the victims of credit card fraud - either stolen or where people have had their cards copied. Thank you.

Thank you, Willow74.  You sound like just the kind of person I am looking for.  I am writing an article on Identity Fraud and wonder if you would be prepared to talk to me offline about your experience?  I would ensure that your details and identity remained confidential in the article.  Thank you very much.

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.

Nicky, there are quite a few message boards where you will find people who are victims of ID theft. A search on google should do it. Here are 2 useful links - the first is a new forum where you can place a post, the second tell you how to deal with ID theft.
