Hello everyone, just an update to thank you for your help and advice during this traumatic time. I have notified the police and shall be notifying ActionAid and my banks etc. Fingers crossed the woman doesn’t surpass security to revert it back to contact info etc she has access to.Really appreciate everyone’s input and help and motivation.0

Pointless contacting Action Fraud when you have already contacted the Police. All Action Fraud would do is pass to local police.Life in the slow lane0

So my guess, from experience. Is if local police told you to contact them, then the local police are not going to do anything.
That is their cop out on crime figures. As that is a crime that they will not have to report or solve..
Action fraud do not investigate crimes. They just log them, & pass back to local police. Who might just look at it & say, not resource to deal.Life in the slow lane0 -
So what am I to do? Basically my mother gets away with it, plus I’ve just aggravated her more?
She’s refusing to give me my car. She’s managed to change the registered keeper to her, which I didn’t know about till I called DVLA.Death seems like the solution 😞1 -
Hiya,
so police have been notified of the fraud - nothing really going on there.Action fraud notified too - nothing happening there
stolen vehicle : police notified, nothing happening. They’ve suggested I get replacement keys, take back the vehicle and then get the manufacturer to change the whole locking system (yay, I’m rich so definitely feasible (!), but they cannot recover as it is a civil matter.Finance company have asked me to ask the police to contact them so they cbs help the police
have contacted current accounts and blocked my accounts until I’m fit to visit the branch (a sufferer if rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia, plus have a young baby). Money that my mother was laundering thus out of her access, has triggered her and my brother to find my number (probs through ClearScore as my changed number has that but she still keeps gaining access again and again) call me multiple times and when blocking their numbers, to turn up on my doorstep banging away. Police notified and arrived FIVE times. All in vain.Tonight she turned up for 2 hours, harassing, causing scratches to my husband’s car (video footage taken on home security camera), inundating me with 14-15 voicemails. Distressed and scared, police called. Seeing the footage and damage, they went to arrest her. After arrrsting, they’ve informed me “yeh so we’ll just give her a warning to stay away from you, and you’ll have to repair the vehicle yourself”
!!!!!! is this?!?
and i recently got back in touch with My estranged elder sister, who tried escaping this same situation, only to be told she reported my mother for the same things in 2018, stolen and misuse of identity, cards, car finance and mortgage in her name despite never knowing of this and not living with her at the time car finance and some cards were taken, to Action Fraud and the Police, plus a solicitor, only for them to do nothing. Not even call to say they’ve closed the investigation (both entities). Solicitor just kept sending letters, which were of no help. When I reported to Action Fraud, they told me no one else has reported my mother
basically, there’s nothing that can be done it seems0
