Criminal history
Answered 4 years ago
How can someone have a criminal history without knowing it until DCSI tells them
My cousin went to apply for the Disability and received an email her application needs more information due to criminal history found.
No further action required by her at this stage.
Why didn’t the police inform her ?
She’s besides herself cause she hasn’t done anything in past to make her a criminal

ANSWER

She needs to get onto freedom of informatiin and find out what crime she committed. It would have to be serious like assualt etc to be denied.

You would assume so qhich is why I find it bizzar as most serious offences would have police involvement and action. She would know.

To have a criminal history you must have appeared in court. So it isn’t making sense at all.

So it's not necessarily something criminal. It says it could be something else relevant they've found.

When I applied for one I was flagged. It turned out it was someone with the same name. Get her to keep looking into it.

Her name isn’t common

It doesn't need to be common, it just needs to be the same as one other person who has a record.

Just get a police clearance for her and see what the crime is.
No, police dont inform you when you get a record, because you go to court and find out then that they your guilty and as such will be sentenced and have the crime recorded on your police record.
She should know if she has a record.
Also if she does and it’s been more then 10 years since her last offence she can apply to have the conviction ‘spent’ which means they take it off the record and she can have a clean one again.
Most people have a record these days, no biggie.

Most people do not have a record. And yeah, it’s a big deal.

You would know if you have a conviction because it's ruled in court and if you don't show up for court there is a warrant for your arrest until you are arrested and present at court. Simple really.

Is it possible she has had her identity stolen? You don’t have serious charges without knowing about it.
