Hello All,
I’m new here and would really appreciate assistance in respect of an issue that I’m dealing with.
i recently received a letter from Marston Holdings in respect of a fine of over £600 from a magistrate court in Greater Manchester. The name on the letter was a short form of my name, my middle name and my surname was slightly misspelt by a letter.
I contacted the courts via email and was informed that a conviction was obtained last year following an offence of not having a valid ticket on a tram ride in Feb 2019. The order also had the short form of my first name, middle name but my surname was misspelt as it was in the letter. However, the date of birth on the order was my date of birth.
As I’ve not used public transport in years, I drive to the office everyday, including the day in question and was no where near a tram on the day, I informed them that I believe someone had fraudulently used my details but my surname was slightly Misspelt. I’ve been advised to sort out a Statutory Declaration. My question is, has anyone ever experienced this? How can I clear my name as this sort of entry could cause problems with work in the future.
Also, I don’t know if this fraudster had an ID but if he didn’t, I think it’s crazy to think that a conviction can be obtained in someone’s name without being sure the perpetrator was actually who he said he was? That’s frightening !
I’m going to report this to action fraud and will also contact Metrolink and the courts for further details.
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Regards,
