How do I stop family member using my name for savings/investements?

Flybaby

Hi, would greatly appreciate anyones advice on this one as to where to turn to for information.
A family member has, i believe, investments, savings, premium bonds in my name and I want to stop this. Over the years he has controlled me heavily and made me sign vaious things but I was too young to know I should pay attention to what I was signing.

Now, as a grown adult, I want to know what he has in "my name" so that I can force him to close down anything in my name. Obviously as a responsible moneysaver, I want to know anything that is in my name. The guy is devious and a control freak and will not say what he has in my name.

I don't want his money - I just want him out of my life and to feel confident that he has not left any financial traps for me. I realised he still had money in my name when I went to buy premium bonds and was told I couldn't as the full allowance had been used. I want to prevent him from being able to do this.

I've done credit check, but obviously this does not really centre on savings and investments etc.
How can I find out what he has in my name so I can force him to close them or report him to someone and who can I report him to?

Thanks

If they think you have 30k in premium bonds, why don't you cash them in?

Or, tell them that no, you do not have any, and you would like to buy some...

Contact the Police and say that someone has stolen your identity.

Contact the Customs & Excise office as this is an obvious tax fraud, for which you may be held liable. Do it now before it gets out of hand.

If you hold the maximum amount of Premium Bond in your name and at your address, what happens to the winnings. They must come to your address and be addressed to you and the cheque would be in your name, so you would have known about this holding.

.

That would certainly put a stop to it immediately and there is nothing this person could do as the money is in your name so is legally yours.

Go to the police - its identity fraud.

Many thanks for your advice.
The accounts have been done in my name, at his address, so I never receive mail about them and without the account numbers, even though they may be in my name, I cannot access them to close them.
Long story , but essentially a very domineering and deceitful family member who I am trying to get out of my life. I don't want the money, I just want it out of my name so he can't use me anymore.
I think I will ask tax office to investigate.

Say you have moved house, that this is your new address that this is proof of who you are - send them a copy of your passport, driving licence. Tell them you lost the holders number. ;-)
