Every organisation you'll deal with — police, banks, bureaus, government — will ask for the same details. Capturing them once, properly, saves hours of repeated calls.
What to put in your evidence pack
- Your full legal name, dates of birth, and any addresses used in the fraud
- Each fraudulent account: provider, account number, date opened, amount
- Copies of any letters, emails, SMS or calls relating to the fraud
- Copies of your ID — passport, driver's licence — for verification
Keep it organised
Tip
A simple folder (digital or paper) with a one-page summary at the front speeds every later call. Reference numbers go on the summary so you don't re-explain everything each time.
