It's not easy to give a definite answer to your question.
The court first has to consider 'culpability', as defined on page 6 of my link below.
The next step is to establish an initial category rating for 'harm', based upon the amont involved. (For £1500 it's the very lowest category, 'Category 5'. See 'Harm A' on page 7).
Then it has to be decided whether a higher category should actally be applied to the case, based upon 'Harm B', also on page 7.
Then the table on page 8 is used.
Assuming that the offence is seen as only 'Category 5' (with no reason to move it to a higher category, based upon the 'Harm B' criteria) and that 'culpability' isn't seen as being at the very highest level, then a community order (involving unpaid work) might well be the evental outcome.

Report it to the police so that you can truthfully say it has been reported and ask for a crime number. But don't expect them to do anything about it. They will just say it is a matter for the bank or the online company or your own fault.
I had £600 fraudulently taken from my bank account, the police were not interested and just told me to contact the bank. I did contact the bank and they refunded the missing cash. The fraud was committed from Cyprus and I was able to prove I was in the UK at the time and still had the bank card.

I'd report it to the police, don't say you know who did it, as EDDIE say you'll get a crime number and they'll likely just file it, then contact the account that is in arrears and / or default and clear it immediately after you have explained what has happened- occasionally they might amend their records but you can certainly have a notice of correction placed on your credit file. So horrible when you have opportunist idiots you care about, so sorry that has happened to you.
