Advice for car finance taken out frauduently

They're not a local solicitor, 160 odd miles away. We checked both the telephone in the email and on their website before responding, both were the same.

If you are absolutely certain this has nothing to do with your partner, I might be inclined to report it to the police. They probably won't be interested (tell you to go to "Un-Action Fraud" or whatever blah...blah) but you just might be able to get them to give you a crime reference number. Then I'd tell the solicitors (and finance company?) that you've done this, or are going to do it.


I wonder how they got your partner's address if the one on the guarantor form is wrong. I'd be inclined, as suggested above, to do a credit check. There's a remote possibility that if action is taken against your partner, any papers might go to the wrong address on the guarantor form and cause all sorts of confusion.


EDIT: I think I agree to tell the solicitors that your partner is not the gurantor, the information given is not his, and a crime reference number if you can get one.
