Identity theft rejection of liability letter
(Guidance Notes)
If your identity has been used fraudulently to create a contract in your name, you can use this letter to reject any liability for that contract and (if applicable) to notify the company involved that you have reported the matter to the police. The letter will seek confirmation that the contract will be cancelled and that no payment will be taken from your bank account in respect of it. The document also seeks further information as to the circumstances in which the contract was made, so that the matter can be investigated further.
You should use this document to obtain a copy of your Statutory Credit Files to find out if there is incorrect information in your files, whether this is due to identity theft or error. The document will create the 3 letters you need to send to the three main credit reference agencies: Experian, Equifax and TransUnion (formerly Callcredit). When you receive your files, you should use our "Credit rating repair" and "Identity recovery" documents, as appropriate, to fix your credit rating.
