Former soldier who served in Afghanistan left ex-wife 'completely broken' after cruel scam

A former soldier left his ex-wife 'completely broken' after committing a cruel scam. Daniel Fairfield, 33, took out a huge loan under the name of his former partner, without her knowing anything about the £20,0000 sum.

The 33-year-old left his estranged wife with years of misery as she was forced to work to rectify the damage to her credit rating. Hull Crown Court heard that the scammed money was spent by the ex-soldier on health treatment, purchases from Amazon and Carphone Warehouse and for paying off debts.

Hull Live reports that Fairfield Hull admitted to fraud on April 21, 2021. In court, Holly Thompson, prosecuting, said that the couple were married for about 14 years but their relationship deteriorated and they separated.
