LV= Warns Unfair Blacklisting Due to ID Fraud is Set to Boom

Home insurer LV= warns that the number of Brits whose credit rating has been badly damaged by identity theft is likely to almost double within the next five years

Croydon, UK (PRWEB) April 30, 2009 -- A new report* released by LV= shows that the number of Brits whose credit rating has been badly damaged by identity theft is likely to almost double within the next five years, with up to 240 people a day being affected.

The new research by home insurer (http://www.lv.com/insurance/home_insurance/features_benefits) LV= shows that nearly half of all Brits (46%), have experienced some sort of credit problem**, with 27% blaming mistaken identity, and 29% said they had no idea why they had encountered a problem.

LV= is warning people that if they believe they have been refused credit unreasonably, they should investigate it further. It could be a sign that they have become a victim of identity theft.

To help assist the growing number of people affected by this problem, LV= home insurance (http://www.lv.com/insurance/home_insurance) now offers customers free access to an Identity Fraud Helpline. The helpline is staffed by specially trained expert advisers who will explain what people can do if they think they have been a victim of identity fraud.

The LV= research, undertaken by the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR), includes views from over 6,000 adults who were questioned about their experiences in applying for credit cards and other services. The research shows that as many as half a million adults* have been 'blacklisted' as a result of being hit by identity fraudsters, with the figure predicted to rise by a further 440,000 over the next five years.

In the past decade identity fraud cases have rocketed, rising on average by 33% annually for the past eight years***. The research also reveals that victims of identity fraud face costs of over £2,100 to clear their name.

John O'Roarke, managing director of LV= home insurance, said: "In the last ten years we've seen a massive increase in the number of people targeted by fraudsters, illustrating the importance of vigilance in protecting personal information and monitoring for any problems that might prove to be a 'symptom' of identity theft."

"Our research shows that an unfair credit rating is a common problem for many and more worryingly, identity fraud is likely to rise sharply in the coming years. That's why we've set up the LV= identity fraud helpline (http://www.lv.com/insurance/home_insurance/help-lines), free to all our home insurance (http://www.lv.com/insurance/) customers, so that anyone who thinks they might have become a victim of identity theft has somewhere to go for help and support."

Notes to Editors:
*Opinium research indicates 2% of people have been a victim of identity fraud. UK adult population is 47.9 million (derived from the Labour Force Survey); CEBR predicts cases will rise by 440,000 cases in the next five years.
**Credit problems are defined to include being denied a loan (including mortgage), credit card, utility or service contract, being investigated by bailiffs, incorrectly receiving a court summons or unpaid bills.
***CEBR analysis based on CIFAS data: in 1999 there were 9,000 reported cases of identity fraud, rising to 77,500 in 2007.

LV= is a registered trade mark of Liverpool Victoria Friendly Society Limited (LVFS) and a trading style of the Liverpool Victoria group of companies.

Field Fisher Waterhouse LLP Wins Compensation for Widow of Cyclist

Field Fisher Waterhouse LLP wins substantial compensation for widow of cyclist killed in fatal HGV collision.

London, UK (PRWEB) April 30, 2009 -- Law firm Field Fisher Waterhouse LLP has won substantial compensation for the widow of a cyclist killed in a fatal collision with an HGV. The driver of the HGV collided with the cyclist, Stephen Ferguson, despite the fact that Mr Ferguson was directly in front of his vehicle.

In April 2007, Mr Ferguson, a father of three from Dulwich in South East London was cycling to work when he approached a set of traffic lights on red. Passing a stationary HGV, he positioned himself in front of it, ready to cycle off when the lights went green. The driver, whose HGV was missing a nearside mirror, failed to see Mr Ferguson in front of his vehicle and when the lights changed, moved off, driving over Mr Ferguson and his bicycle, killing him instantly.

Mr Ferguson's widow Emma instructed Field Fisher Waterhouse's personal injury (http://www.personalinjury.ffw.com/personal-injury.aspx ) partner, Jill Greenfield and associate, Mark Bowman to represent her in a claim against Hendricks Lovell Limited, the haulage company which employed the driver of the HGV.

Hendricks denied causing the road traffic accident (http://www.personalinjury.ffw.com/personal-injury/traffic-accidents.aspx ) but during investigations it was established that the driver had his radio on, had an open newspaper on the passenger seat and was missing one of his mirrors. Hendricks finally agreed to pay substantial financial compensation to Emma Ferguson and her three young children, now aged six, four and one.

Mark Bowman, solicitor at Field Fisher Waterhouse commented: "This tragic case highlights the danger that HGVs pose to cyclists and why they must be fitted with the correct mirrors. More needs to be done to ensure that cycling in London is safe and that these accidents happen far less."

Emma Ferguson said: "I would like to thank Field Fisher Waterhouse for all their amazing work. This will make a real difference to the children's future. I am, and I know Stephen would be, very grateful to them for that."

Note to Editors:
Case number: 41899.1.
