I’ve been away most of October and have been flooded with emails regards CIFAS markers.
With CIFAS you must follow a pretty basic formula which is;
1. GET A SAR sent to CIFAS to see who added the marker against you;
2. Appeal directly with the bank / lender who added the marker but also report it to the police / action fraud etc and get a crime reference number (if it wasn’t you who deposited dodgy money etc);
3. If the bank refuse to remove it then you can request CIFAS investigates before finally going to the Ombudsman (FOS).
unlike before, a CIFAS entry now lasts 6 years & not 13 months so bear this in mind before allowing someone you don’t know to deposit cash into your account.
