someone using my qualifications without consent

[ianh68]

Hi Guys
I was looking for a bit of advice really. I have been told that someone has been using my qualifications to allow themselves and others to carry out work . I was wondering if there is anyway of finding out if this is true, as i don't want to throw someone under the bus to find out it's just someone being vindictive.

In what way have they been using them?

To gain contracts as someone has to be fully qualified as an electrician, also i have my mcs tickets i know nothing has gone through governing bodies as i have already checked

Have they used your name?

Is it someone you know ?
How would they have got your qualification details?

Do you mean they're using your scheme registration number?

You'd need exact details from whoever told you about it , who's allegedly falsely claiming to be you, who they are presenting false copies of your documents / using your registration details to and then approach whoever they have allegedly carried out work for, prove who you are to them and get them to confirm or deny whether someone else posing as you has done work for them.

Get someone to call him and ask for a quote . Then see what happens . Catch him on camera etc etc .Then go from there .

Who are you registered with?.........NIC have just had a man in court for using their name

This is surely a form of fraud. Put an immediate stop to it, call him/her and ask him to stop and if not its a solicitors letter. Any evidence gathering would be useful also
