If you believe you’ve been a victim of fraud it’s really important that you contact the company concerned first. If your details have been used, our Accounts Investigation Team (0333 777 8901, Monday - Friday 8am to 9pm, Saturday and Sunday 8am to 7pm) will be on hand to help resolve this as quickly as possible.
If you believe you’ve been a victim of identity theft you can report this to Action Fraud (a Police and Government website) via www.actionfraud.police.uk. Here at Next, we aim to report every allegation of fraud to Action Fraud once we’ve fully completed our investigations. If you have an Action Fraud reference number we’ll report the crime under the same reference which will provide a better picture of the crime to the police.
You can also register your details with CIFAS. This is an organisation that will put a security flag against your details so if credit searches are carried out in your name, those companies who have also registered with CIFAS can see you have previously been a victim of identity theft.
We take your personal information very seriously and have put various security checks in place to protect your account. This includes sending letters, emails and texts if you update/change your account details. If you receive an email, letter or text alert from us to notify you that details have been changed but you haven’t made these changes, please contact us straight away on 0333 240 0700**.
