individual committing fraud such as using your identification document, we recommend that you;
report the matter to the police.
report the matter to the fraud department of the illion Tenancy subscribers involved.
provide the Police complaint file number and details so we can record this on the illion Tenancy system.

own investigations. If this occurs the illion Tenancy subscriber will advise illion Tenancy
of the outcome.

- Attach all the relevant information and documentation that you have to support your request (i.e., Police Complaint acknowledgement - please note that this supporting documentation is vital for the fulfilment of your request)
