National hunters limited

If you have been refused a bank account, loan or mortgage. The bank wont necessarily tell you, in fact they will deny all knowledge of THE NATIONAL HUNTERS LIMITED. Particularly Barclays.

The chances are that you are on thier secret BLACKLIST. Just google N HUNTERS Ltd. All the information is there. They arer costly mind you. They will charge you a tenner just for your data, this is the maximum by law that they are allowed to charge you. A nasty little organisation.

If any one knows the name of the MD of the Company can you publsih it

The problems as Highlighted, They often get it wrong and then truly wreck peoples life. What legal action can one take against them when they get it badly wrong?

Another Question. This Company is owned by Equifax so when you ask for your credit file from Exuifax, why isnt the National Hunters included?

According to the link

They are not allowed to reject you based on the National Hunter ref flag alone.

Oh yes they are and they have. What I want to know is who regulates this organisation so that I can escalate the matter.

If they have, isn't your issue with your bank since they're not allowed to use only this information.

I dont want to go into too much detail and I thank you for your help. I can tell categorically that my major high street bank have taken information that is totally innacurate from National Hunters Limited and have literally wrecked my life.

I have all of the facts but I want to ensure that I follow the complaints procedure before court action. To do this I need to know under what regulatory body are they answerable too. These people are not above the law and should not be getting away with this.

Despite having excellant credit scores from experien and equifax, Barclays Bank wont let me open up a bank account. I cannot get credit anywhere. I recently applied for a mortgage using a financial advisor and he made a mistake on the application form, the building society refused the mortgage as a result of the error. I have banked with Barclays for 30 years as a premier customer and only needed to open a new account because I was married recently. I have been told that there is nothing I can do as there has been a marker placed on my file? by the Building Society and that I am on a hunters list. Can someone tell me what this is and what can I do about it?

The Information Commissioners Office looks after data protection issues, which this is if the information that is within the National Hunter system (which is part of Experian I believe) is incorrect.

You will need to obtain the data they hold with a SAR and then dispute that data. If you cannot get any joy with this then you would escalate it, ultimately to the ICO. Why not seek legal advice straight away if it's as serious as it sounds?
