  • Anyone know about CIFAS?

    Hi guys I’m new to the forum and was hoping for some advice,

    After years of wondering why I couldn't get a basic bank account or any credit, I recieved my SAR from CIFAS today. I have a first party fraud marker that has been filed by Shop Direct Finance (littlewoods) on 14/07/2014, Reason for filling is Evasion of Payment and the evidence they have against me states : Contact with application on electoral roll check.

    The debt is for £424 and I didn't make a payment at all to be honest, I had an awful time 4 years ago and couldn’t afford anything at all, I was on me knees! I admit I avoided the payments and contact from them because I was depressed.but I’m shocked of the impact this has had on my life because of this. to get a first party fraud marker is worlds apart from having a ccjor default registered instead. I believe that they are stating I have used a fake address in order to gain credit and what makes it look worse is that I didn't actually make any payments to them. The address that was used was my parents house and I was living there at the time. Regarding the evidence of the electoral roll they claim to have, I have checked this against my credit file and it did state that I was at my parents house until the end of 2010 but I didn't open the littewoods account until 2012. There was no other records of any other address. I was actually living at my parents house but guess my parents didn't include me on it that yearner what ever reason. Can they did see thatchy accepted me for credit based on the same terms (that the electoral roll showed I wasn't currently registered at that address)

    Also when checking my credit file, it states the account was opened on 10/11/2012 and then the default wasn't registered until Lowel bought the debt on 29/07/2014. Would this be right if I never made a payment, surely the default should of been registered sometime in 2013 not 2014?

    where do I stand with this and what can I do? Im absolutely gutted, there hundreds of threads about Cifas markers relating to bank accounts act, am I the only person from one from littlewoods? I would also like to add to I do have old bank statements that prove I was living at my parents house at the time of the account opening and for another year. I’ve regained some finances and am happy to pay the debt of in full but I’d like to know where I stand.

    Where they right in registering me as first party fraud just by checking the electoral role? Is this sufficient evidence to stand up in court as cifas requires members to have this before filing a marker on someone.
