The ex, identity theft and fraud.

Possibly next week for the arrest as the officer go's off duty until next Tuesday then she will be calling to see me for copies of the transactions from the card to add to the evidence she has so far. There is also the question of timing, I need to be available to collect my youngest children so they don't see their mum get arrested. The officer will hopefully give me the heads up so I can arrange to get them before the police go for the arrest. She is taking time but all with the best intention of getting things done right, the economic crime unit were the best people to have this referred to. As time has passed lots more evidence is turning up also to be added to the case, seems as though the ex has been up quite a lot and not just in my name. If im really lucky when she gets arrested there will be her and her junkie friends all strung out getting high with drugs in hand when the police call. That would be quite a scene; whenever I have the kids all her junkie friends turn up at her house and that's what they do, would love to be a fly on the wall if that was the case when the police go there.
 
Truly terrible situation. But things seem to be finally moving in your favor. Revenge is oh so sweet.

All the best to you mate. And keep us posted!
 
Hope you they let you know so you can get the kids. Whatever their mum has done, they don't deserve to see that. Fingers crossed the social workers will now offer you some more support so you can have them too. :)
 
I had about 10k stolen by an ex, it wasn't on credit or anything sadly though so there was nothing I could do, as I'd given it her in "good faith" at the time. Some people.

Hope it turns out well fo ryou Leon.

Hope the brick walls grow ears is all I can say about the social services, they don't seem to listen to a thing I say. The police have been much more understanding with the situation as regards the children.

Are social services aware of her drug abuse?

They ignored me forever saying I was making things up because she told them she kicked me out for cheating and making up stories that she took drugs and all the other things she did. That charade fell on it's face when she went to pieces and confessed all she had been doing to everyone a couple of weeks after I left. They still don't do anything though, she tells them she's off the drugs now but any fool who sees her can see it's all an act. Her pupils are like black holes and she has no colour in her eyes, she stands there rocking back and forth in a daze. I just wish she would bang her stupid head and snap out of it for the sake of the kids.

To those who keep mentioning the 18k; it's not important to me as I can make it back, when someone has been with someone a certain length of time and never had a reason to hide bank cards and such this can happen. As for not noticing it had gone out of my bank, I never used the account in question for anything so didn't check it.

What is of major importance is my children, this little crime spree of hers might just tip the balance and get social services to listen and act in the interests of the children.

Of secondary importance is me not having to pay for what that idiot has done in my name.

Nothing I can really add other than the best of luck.

You have seemingly done everything the right way and in the best possible way.

I hope she gets what coming to her and social services actually WTFU!
 
Following this with great interest, a very similar thing happened to me a few years back, cards in my name, catalogue store accounts, holidays etc all by an ex, unfortunately for me though, the outcome was me being ~£10k out if pocket with a still very much screwed credit history!!

I hope she gets what's coming to her!

It should snap their eyes open to what she's really like good luck, hope the kids are OK.
 
She was arrested at 10am this morning; the police failed to give me the heads up to pick up my children and my two sons were there. I had them picked up quick as I could because I was unable to get there myself at such short notice. They did not want me picking the children up before they got there because she might have thought something was happening. Me taking a day off and having them on a different day might have set alarm bells off in her mind and she could have got rid of evidence.

They searched the house and found what the PC handling things said was a lot of evidence. This was documents and other things relating to the frauds she has been part of. A social worker called at the house while the police were searching and checked the house to pick some things up for the kids. When she came to see me she told me she dose not want the kids going back to that house until my ex makes a lots of progress, if ever.

I was called at 10-30pm by the police; she had been processed and interviewed, she has admitted the offences she did in my name and will be appearing in magistrates court on the 14th of February (see the irony! valentines court date for them ex).
