answer text

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is aware that City of London Police, the national police lead in substantial fraud investigations, is currently considering the widely-reported case involving Wonga. To date the CPS have not been asked by the police as to whether the practice of issuing letters from fake solicitors constitutes a criminal offence. Any referral to the CPS will be made to the CPS Specialist Fraud Division, who would provide wider advice about whether such practices constitute a criminal offence if that was requested by the police.
