Cifas Password

Hello,
I've recently applied for an advance on my mortgage and have been approved. Today though theyve rang me and asked if I have had any fraud on any of my accounts. Well I had a fraud attempt through a catalogue and Cifas asked me to set up a password. Now the bank has asked me to provide two forms of photo ID (of which I only have one) and the password that I set up. The stupid thing is that I can't remember the password, I have some idea but how many goes do I get!! It's totally my own fault but basically I can't get the money until I do this! Does anyone know if they can reset a password?
Thank you
Nicky

Banks always make a point of telling you that they will never ask for your password. So, I would be wary of that.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0 -
Thanks. It was the lady who dealt with our application on saturday that's all I can say! I've emailed Cifas to see what they say.0
