Someone as used my identity, now im at court on motor offence, where do i go from here?
Hello to all.
In march 2007 someone got stopped on a motorbike, and gave my name, date of birth and an address that i lived at 15 yrs ago. the first thing i knew about it was october 2009 when i got a summons to court for none payment of fines, i went to court to say it wasn't me, and it all got wiped off. but now ive been summons to a trail. where do i stand?
I've rang DVLA and the bike in Question as never been registered to me(which i know ive never owned it)
My driving licence was registered at my presant address.
Where do i stand/go from here. any info would be greatfully recieved.

As this has been accepted once by the courts already then you stand as always
" innocent until prooven guilty "
As you were not the person in question you should have nothing to fear. Especialy as it is " Already" on record.
a summons to a trial should indicate why you are being called , if in doubt contact a solicitor " check if they charge for consultaion first " .
i would also check if you can put in a claim for any incured expensess regarding this " time of work and travel "
sara3 i would advice re-reading the inicial post

Regarding the reporting of the identity theift
It should have been noted at the time of the first court case . however thats the courts not the police.
So if this has not been reported i would advice the police of this issue so anyone using your name can be checked.
As this person has used your previous address , i can only surmise either that person lived in your old address and got your info from their , or it is actualy someone who knew you when you lived there. " however they could simply have removed an old passport and utility bill from your dustin " so many ways to gather information and sadly so many ways it can be used !
As this case involves identity theift " like the previous court case " , it could simply be a clerical error as to you recieving the summons however appearing at the court and stating your standing in this is again would be the best course of action "
You could check this out with the police while reporting the identity theift.
