    Anything wrong with being pedantic, especially in this case?

    My post #6 was absolutely correct, but you started this pointless discussion by calling it "A prime example of the confusion" and "misinformation... which needs to be stamped out".

    And 'evidence' of what exactly do you want to see?

    Very simple really: You said a lot about what lenders will do in the light of a CIFAS victim registration. So let's see some evidence of that.

    You post was in fact a prime example of the confusion which exists on MSE and nothing you have posted changes that.

    The easiest thing for OP to do is to call CIFAS and see if he actually has a protective registration marker against his name and how to go about removing it.

    Their phone no is at the bottom of the list: https://www.cifas.org.uk/pr_faqs
