Student + Cifa + No bank account = life ruined ^^

studentwhomuckedup

Hello guys, yes i !!!!ed up I know. When i was 17 i did something silly and got duped into money laundering, my bank account got closed and i didn't think much of it, i didn't attempt to open another bank account for another year or so. Now it's that time of the year and I've nearly finished my A Levels and whatnot but i can't open a bank account. Also the Student Loan Company is registered with Cifa so i'm scared my loan will be refused. Please what do i do? My life seems ruined before I've even started it and in other to even get a loan i must have a bank aco!!!! in my name.

I can't even open a basic bank account. This week i've gone into action and im contacting the previous bank fraud department to kinda negotiate with them and see whats up as i did put in a police report about the incident.

I just hope you're being diligent in warning your friends in not falling for these schemes. As you are finding they can have far-reaching effects on your life.

First things first it's CIFAS not cifa, secondly you've most likely got a category 6 marker that unfortunately stays on your record for 6 years. A cat 6 is a straight decline I'm afraid.
