    Most Amex Applications get referred. Some cards require 20k income. Some 30k :D

    If you say what you did, advise that it was because you misread the form, apologise profusely and offer ID etc to show you weren't someone else or the like they might remove the CIFAS marker.

    Good luck, and do keep us posted! :o :beer:

    I called Amex today,i spoke to a calm lady,she asked if i was the one that applied for it,i said yes,she said my account details was not be able to verified/checked on me,i gave her my own acc details,she said it was difference for the one in the application,i told her it was mistake,she asked for my employer and contact details.
    They would get back to me in three days,when i checked my Experian now the Cifas's marker is removed.

    CIFAS markers can't be removed that quickly, can they?

    They are very efficient then, great well done :beer:

    The other credit card company known for OTT CIFAS markers (Sygma) take much longer to react.

    Excellent work on your part and Amex's. Well done :o
