Now I know about cifas and the 6 year file. I know I made a stupid choice but now for something that I did as a kid should it really affect me for the next crucial 4 years remaining? (I’m 18 now).

.

Another POV would be that if it was just simply wiped out, that would be an encouragement to go ahead "look you're 16 it will be wiped at 18 even uf they catch you, if you get caught in say a years time, it will be erased in a year from then. So why not go ahead ?"

I feel like my intelligence dropped by about 10% trying to read that garbage. Looks like it was written by someone who never bothered to go to school and doesn't have a clue how banks work. A "hacker" goes into your bank account and sticks a 0 on the end of your total cash and magically you have more money? Do they even know how banks work?

Me three; I must have led a very sheltered life, but I didn't understand a word of that.

However, whatever it means doesn't sound very nice and certainly not something any self respecting 16 year old would want to get involved with!!

Sadly you will need to ride the next 4 years and put it down to experience. Might seem unfair now but that is the reality, and life can be unfair sometimes.

True, but in this case it seems very fair to me.

Yes life can be unfair but not in this case

Yes the boy did wrong, he’s been caught, and now needs to wait out until cifas marker is removed.

But before you judge and get high and mighty, realise a lot of this is pushed by gangs and it’s not always as easy as saying no

That's not really a 'mistake' is it?

A mistake is going out and forgetting to turn the oven off, or writing 'there' instead of 'their' etc etc

Personally I think if you start out in life with a dishonest, criminal outlook then you'll carry on that way. But calling a crime a mistake really gets my goat frankly.
