Account Takeover & Identity Theft
Regaining control of hijacked accounts, unwinding fraudulent credit, and clearing your name of someone else's activity.
This is probably you if
- You have lost access to email, banking, or social accounts to an intruder.
- Credit was taken out in your name.
- A SIM swap preceded unauthorised transactions.
- You are being pursued for a debt that is not yours.

Start hereWhat the work involves
01
Recovering access
Formal escalation to platforms and providers when standard support channels have failed or looped.
02
Unwinding fraudulent credit
Disputes with lenders and credit reference agencies, with formal complaints where they resist.
03
Provider liability
Claims against banks and telecoms operators whose weak controls enabled the takeover — SIM swap cases in particular.
04
Clearing the record
Correcting records held by third parties and, where necessary, obtaining formal confirmation that you were the victim.
Being straight with you
Platform escalation works far better with a documented paper trail. Keep every reference number you are given, even the useless-looking ones.
