Why Identity Theft Still Isn’t a Crime in the UK - Even When It Ruins Your Life | Ep 14
Manage episode 481285638 series 3645851
This week, we’re pulling back the curtain on one of the most infuriating chapters of our lives - and the UK system that lets it happen.
Amy shares the devastating reality of having her identity stolen by someone she once trusted - bank accounts, credit cards, catalog debt, mobile phones... even car insurance.
And despite the damage to her credit, finances, and future? The police called it a domestic and walked away.
We’re breaking down:
- The terrifying loopholes that let someone legally steal your identity
- How this kind of fraud quietly wrecks your life - even when "it doesn't affect your pocket"
- Why the system protects companies over real people
- What we’ve learned (and what you need to know to protect yourself)
- A raw update on Kye’s adoption and why that process is broken too
This one’s real, vulnerable, and full of the fire that comes when you’re done being failed by the systems that are meant to protect you.
