Action Fraud not helping in identity fraud being used for traffic offences in England

Post Body

Long story short - my identity keeps getting being used for traffic offences, not only for spending but for some more serious ones.

I lost my national Spanish ID back in 2022 in London, and since then I’ve received 4 different fines from different polices forced and vehicles.

Two of them are in court and it’s affecting my mental health, and my finances too - one of them have an attachment of earning orders.

I’ve had a look and this has been a recordable crime before, but action fraud says it’s not and that they can’t do anything. I’ve put a complaint and look at their response:

“The use of another person's personal details (or the use of false identification details), often referred to as 'Identity Theft', is not an offence in law. We can only record a crime report on behalf of companies or organisations which incur a loss as a result of the misuse of your identity. In this case, your report will be used for business Intelligence purposes by the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau. You will receive no further correspondence from this. For more information on how to protect yourself from Identity Fraud in the future, please have a look at the following link on our website”

Every time I speak with any of those police forces including my local one - they send me to Action Fraud.

Stuck in a loop / I need the police to investigate. This has happened in the past and people have been jailed for it: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cl5y3w5yevlo.amp

What can I do? I’m so depressed and running out of options.

Thank you
