Martins' article inaccurate?

Martin's article on credit reference files makes no reference to "MCL Software". This is a company that holds information about mortgages, loans etc. Their website is https://www.mclsoftware.co.uk. You would not know about this unless you are an industry insider or have specific knowledge.
What is CIFAS? Yes I know what they are. But who runs it? Who are the directors of this very secretive company? What have they got to hide?

I agree entirely.
Lots of questions arise. There are it appears no answers.
What is the Hunter (system) check?
Where, in the t&c's (of any company), does it clarify that a Hunter check is run on applicants for loans, mortgages etc.? A bland "We may blah blah bull***" is not IMO sufficient.
