Hi all, I really need some advice 2 years ago I stupidly opend 3 catalouges in family's names, at the time my husband was violant toward me and then was posted to Afghanistan and I was on my own with a 3 month old and a 2 year old. I was so depressed and was also suffering from a compulsive disorder. I am not a Nast person I would give any one the shirt off my back. I don't even know what possessed me to do it, I didn't do it out of mall ace or with at intent to anyone I really don't know why I did it. I have never ever been in trouble with the police and my husband is an officer in the British army, well last week my mother checked her credit file and I was found out which led to her phoning the police. They had a appointment at there house tonight with the police, my mobile started ringing and it was my mum so I answered it and it was the police man, I live in Surrey now but it happened in Essex so he asked if I could come to Essex for an voluntary interview and said did I want a solicitor to which I asked well I don't know I have never been in trouble befor he then said that if I had a solicitor it would take hours and hours and I would be kept in a police cell and if I just came in I would just be caution and I would get it sorted. He said if I told the truth all would be ok if I lied I would go to prison. I am very confused as to why he wouldn't want me to have a solicitor I am glad I am getting punished for what I have done my family don't deserve the hurt and pain that I have caused and I love them more then anything I'm just confused as I was expecting to get arrested and have a solicitor? Any help would be greatly appreciated as my husband and I split two weeks ago due to his infedelity and I am on my own in Surrey with 2 very small children thank you please don't judge me I'm really not a nasty person I was I'll xx

Im sure your parents would want you to have a solicitor, its the copper that doesn't want you to have one partly due to the reasons outlined in my post above. I appreciate this is difficult but please try not to worry it will be finalised soon.

If you do go for the interview, say "no comment" to all questions. That will give you time to plan a defence.

[EDDIE51]

Real policemen do not say things like this, this person is trying to scare you.
If you do go and talk to the police, then as said get the duty solicitor to be with you, it is free and he/she will advise you as to the best thing to do. Do not say anything at all until the solicitor is present and only then say what he tells you to say.

[Mrswjen]

Thank u I just don't wantnto go against his advice and end up making things worse for my self and my children

[Mrswjen]

That's what I thought after the call the only thing that made me believe it was really a policeman was when he said when I call it wil come up as withheld or unknown number but I will delair who I am at the start of the call :s

[Gavmacp]

His advice may not be in your interest only his. I would listen to Orderlimit they make sense to me.

[Orderlimit]

On the information available on here at the mo, a no-comment interview is not a good idea.

[Mrswjen]

No off do have to go back to Colchester police station I will be admitting it as I did do it and do want my parents to see I am facing up to what i done it just all seems a bit weird and I don't know why

[Answerprancer]

...you're welcome.

[Mrswjen]

Sorry I am very very thank full for all the advice more then you will ever know as this is the only out let i have for talking about this i have no 1 else I am just freeking out at the moment sorry I didn't mean to be rude x

[Answerprancer]

No prob. I bet it will turn out nowhere near as bad as you thought.

[Mrswjen]

I hope so as I have really learnt my lesson and am seeking help for the obsessive compulsive personali disorder, again the actions of the policeman has just confused me that's all but I have no idea what police are like so I can't question it.

[Mrswjen]

Guess I will just have to wait for the dressed phone call

[Mrswjen]

Dreaded

[Mrswjen]

He also asked if I had any statemenTs for the clothes and I said no I moved 9 months ago but it wasn't for clothe
S my mum knows this it was toys for my kids and surely after a 3 hr interview the policeman would have known this

[Mrswjen]

My mum has a list of things ordered and there was not 1 item of clotheing

[Mrswjen]

I'm still so confused as what to do, the police haven't phoned as yet with an appointment to go in, ones anyone know how long this is likely to take as apparently I have o go back to Essex for the interview

[murraymints]

Do not go . Anywhere or say anything without a duty solicitor present...I have my doubts this was a genuine call...any police will always advise that you have legal presence...maybe your mum trying to frighten you as punishment....sit tight..if you get another call ask for their police no. The Badge number I mean also The telephone. Number of their station etc...you will NOT go to jail even if this is authentic....which I doubt....

[Mrswjen]

Thank you, the more I think about it I also have my doubts that it was a police officer as he said a few things that I didn't think a policeman would say on the phone and also my ,other said her appointment was at 6 and I received the call at 9 but off her phone, if I get another call I will ask more questions about him and the police station.

[Mrswjen]

And if it is I a, going to ask for a solicitor I think even tho the policeman man said it could take hours and hours and I will have to go into a cell as I don't want to fall apart in the interview and make things worse, I accidentally upset a guard at my husbands old army camp and I cried as he had a go at me and he was nothing I can't imagine what I would be like with the police I hold the upmost respect for authority figures and I get very scared
