If someone has falsely given your details to the police or courts

You might be able to ask the court to reopen your case if you think someone else committed the crime. For example, your name could have been given in relation to a traffic offence that you did not commit. 

  1. Contact the Action Fraud team on 0300 123 2040, or the local Police on 101, to report that you did not commit the crime. They will give you a crime reference number. 

  2. Contact the court or enforcement centre on your notice and give the crime reference number.

  3. The court will decide whether to reopen the case or contact you if you need to take any further action.
