    So much for those fraud agencies reassurance that "No one should be refused credit just because of a CIFAS marker"

    That's really just a way of saying that the marker isn't an auto decline, what it will do is generate a referral to the banks fraud team who will assess whether they want a relationship with the applicant.
    The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.

    They haven't been back on since April so I can't see you getting an answer.
