Posting for a friend for advice, with her permission.
This friend got treated terriblyy her ex. Beaten up repeatedly, one of the nurses said it was the worst cases of DV she'd ever seen at the hospital. She's the nicest person I've ever known.
She finally broke up with him at Christmas time. Unbeknownst to her, he had got a credit card out in her name. She checked her credit rating and realised what he'd done - he'd been paying it off in full, so being the lovely person that she is, she told them to block it and then let it go.
In April, her dear Mum died. A couple of months later when she was sorting stuff out, she realised her mums bank account had been emptied. When she looked at the outgoings, it was all to the credit card company. The fucking bastard had wrote down her mums bank details and had been paying off the credit card in her name with that!
She's just found out he's got another credit card in her name. Finally, she was convinced to call the police. They told her they couldn't do anything, as she wasn't the victim! It was up to the bank if they wanted to press charges! Never mind her clearly being the victim of identity fraud or suchlike, her and her brother were the sole benefactors of her mums money.
I can't believe this utter scumbag, who abused both her and her kind hearted Mum whilst she was alive, can get away with this!
I've advised her to go to CAB but would be interested for any advice. I'll send her the link to this thread.

To think it's a crime to steal from a dead woman?
