Some Statistics of Financial Abuse in the UK
“Court exploitation is a harsh reality for many vulnerable individuals, and it’s time to shine a light on their experiences.”
- About 16% of adults in the UK, approximately 8.7 million people, have experienced financial abuse. This form of abuse can leave victims financially devastated and trapped in cycles of debt and poverty.
- Shockingly, 60% of victim-survivors of coercive control have been forced into taking on debt, which can take years to pay off and can harm their credit scores. Even after leaving an abusive situation, 25% of women who have suffered economic abuse continue to experience it.
- Women who can't come up with £100 at short notice are 3.5 times more likely to face domestic abuse. This highlights the intersectionality of economic vulnerability and abuse, where financial constraints can exacerbate the risk of harm.
- The most important secret statistic, Aided Right, needs to be published by qualifying the high number of vulnerable people in the UK who suffered or suffered financial exploitation caused by the Court of Protection in the last thirty-plus years.
- According to www.searchbriefings.files.parliament.uk, there are a combined 3.8 to 3.9 million court cases on average per year in the UK.
- These numbers underscore the urgent need for action and reform within the legal system to prevent further harm and ensure justice for all.
Understanding Financial Abuse - A
Silent Weapon of Control
Financial abuse is a form of domestic abuse that involves controlling a victim’s access to financial resources, thereby exerting power and control over them. It can take many forms, including
Perpetrators, including court-appointed lawyers, may limit a victim’s access to bank accounts, credit cards, or cash, making it difficult for them to enjoy spending, meet their basic needs or leave the abusive relationship.
Perpetrators may coerce victims into taking on debt, often in the form of loans or credit cards, without their consent. This debt can be used as a means of control, trapping victims in a cycle of financial dependence.
Perpetrators may steal money from a victim’s bank account, withhold funds for necessities such as food or shelter, or refuse to contribute financially to household expenses.
Protecting the perpetrators from abusing the court process may falsely pursue criminal activity, aware no crime exists to discredit the court’s victim’s partner. Premeditated court victim abduction and sedation could occur, facilitating the perpetrators to loot the victim’s bank accounts and expensive jewellery.
Perpetrators may exploit a victim’s financial dependence, using it as leverage to manipulate and control them. This can include threatening to withhold financial support or kicking the victim out of their home.
Court-appointed perpetrators for property and affairs may exploit a victim’s home assets, such as valuables stored in the home safe. Taking the expensive items for evaluation with the real intention of depriving them.
A court of protection perpetrator may judge who causes a serious court data protection breach, pretends to seal court orders, ensuring all billed costs are to be assessed by the Senior Courts Cost Office to deceive a financial sense of security and ambush their court victims partner in court without legal representation to intimidate and control.
Both in memory and mental capacity, are intimidated by the court. To falsely remove their court victim’s ability to make financial decisions, and may even set up the victim’s partner to be in contempt of court. They could present fabricated court witness reports and statements.
Court visitors may assist the Perpetrators by falsely revoking the last power of attorneys to facilitate the court of protection to falsely label the court victim lacks the mental capacity to control property and financial affairs to loot.

Who are victims of financial abuse?
Victims of financial abuse come from all walks of life and can be of any gender, age, or socioeconomic status. However, certain factors may increase an individual’s vulnerability to financial abuse, including –
Economic Dependence
Victims who are financially dependent on their abusers, such as stay-at-home parents or individuals with disabilities, may be at increased risk of financial abuse.
Isolation
Perpetrators may isolate their victims from friends, family, and support networks, making it harder for them to seek help or escape the abusive situation.
Lack of Financial Literacy
Victims who are unfamiliar with financial matters or lack access to resources and support may struggle to recognise or address financial abuse.

The Prey and The Predators - Targeting the Vulnerable
Court exploitation preys upon society’s most vulnerable members, often targeting individuals with wealth or financial assets. These individuals, usually unsuspecting of the dangers posed by the legal system, become entangled in a complex network of deception and manipulation. By the time they grasp the full extent of the exploitation, it’s often too late. They find themselves trapped, helpless, and at the mercy of financial predators who operate with impunity and motivated financial reward.
Behind Closed Doors - Concealment and Complicity
The concealment of court exploitation begins long before the victim ever sets foot in a courtroom. Behind closed doors, local authorities, the Office of the Public Guardian, and law enforcement agencies collaborate to manage behind-the-scenes manoeuvres that serve to victimise the vulnerable further. This conspiracy, conducted in secrecy and devoid of accountability, leaves victims isolated and abandoned, betrayed by the lack of transparency and by the very institutions meant to protect them.
A Breach of Trust - Exploitation Within the Court System
The very institutions entrusted with upholding justice and protecting the vulnerable have become breeding grounds for exploitation. Courtrooms, once seen as bastions of integrity, have been tarnished by manipulation and abuse of power. Vulnerable individuals, targeted under the guise of protection, find themselves at the mercy of a broken legal profession that prioritises self-interest over the well-being of those it is meant to serve.
