Fraud and Internet crimes should be reported via the Police Action Fraud website. If you believe that your personal details have been used to fraudulently obtain a loan from us, we strongly advise you to contact the Police and your bank to inform them of the theft of your personal information. We understand that this can be a stressful matter and would like to reassure you that we work closely with external organisations, such as the Police and Cifas, when we investigate fraud claims.
Additionally, to help us start our investigation, you can discuss any concerns with our Customer Services Representatives. Details of how to contact us can be found on our contact page. We will need the following information:
- Your full name and date of birth
- Your Crime Reference Number or Log Number from Action Fraud/the Police
- A contact phone number
- An email address we can reach you on
- If you have an entry on your credit file, the postcode that was used
- A bank statement showing any payments made to or from MYJAR (optional)
Please be aware that false claims of fraud can, if convicted, lead to fines and/or imprisonment. It’s important that you only report fraud if you are certain it has taken place.
