CCA - Card Fraud

Hi
my first post hope I do this right

Ok I have had 2 letters from 2 different DCA about credit cards from MBNA(RED) and EGG(Cabot)

The letters from DCA have have my name and address but for a female (mrs) instead of Male. (I am male :cool:)

I quickly requested a CCA. Red were unable to provide one and after a while sent me a letter saying I am not the correct person and so apologised and said I would not hear from them again. I am reporting this to the police today so its registered that someone may be using my details with a different gender to do credit card fraud.

I then received a CCA from Cabot about the EGG card. They have sent me a CCA from 2005 for a Female (MRS) but with my name and address. This person was drawing cash in large amounts daily from cash points. I live in a place with a mail room and there has been alot of cases of people stealing mail from them in the past.

I am thinking of sending to Cabot the police criminal report number and saying that I am not responsible for this and that this is fraud. The CCA is for a female also and is not signed.

Any recommendations for people more knowledgeable than me. I am not used this kind of thing and I have been worrying deeply.

Thanks in advance.
