fraud

[solskjaer99]

if charged with fraud how long does it stay on your criminal record?

[NORMANTHEDOG]

if you are found guilty of it,then it will be a criminal conviction,which will stay on your criminal record forever,although it would be spent in a number of years.

As Norman indicates, a criminal record is for life but the majority of convictions become 'spent', for most purposes, after a certain period of time, which is determined by the sentence imposed. This is as follows:
For most non-custodial sentences: 5 years
For prison sentences up to (and including) 6 months: 7 years
For other prison sentences up to 2.5 years: 10 years
(Convictions are never spent if the sentence exceeds 2.5 years imprisonment)
