CIFAS dispute

Its funny how no-one has yet to answer my questions??
FYI - i have made numerous applications over the years and some have been rejected due to spelling error (not my fault, fault of people on the phone due to how my surname is spelt). All that happens is a rejection due to not finding me in the system. End of application!0 -

CIFAS and National Hunter two different things. Also depends on the context. You cant get a CIFAS for a new application for entering mistaken information. They wont know who you are
Why would you possibly think that they couldn’t?
How would they be able to work out the applicant exactly if they do not have the correct details of the applicant?0 -
DebtHurricane said:This is ridiculous. Stop trying to pick apart the OPs version of events and listen to the facts presented. Eskbanker is correct.I know this because I too had a marker placed due to a genuine mistake in my dob. This company are absolutely vile. They trash peoples lives by placing markers and deeming innocent people fraudsters.I’m not going into huge detail because of privacy but they are placing markers on people without sufficient evidence or cause.
Do go into detail......0 -

As pure as simple as that. They will not find your credit file and reject your application, nothing more happens. Therefore, the fact they did this whole CIFAS marker does not make sense as they would not know who to put this marker on against because there was no person to put it on against.
1 - Details are incorrect so how would they know who the loan was too? They wouldnt as no details were matched
2 - If they magically found this formula and guessed the right application then how would they know it was him doing it and not some fraudster. They would just guess and think lets roll the dice and stick a CIFAS on him?0 -

Your other point about a completely fake application from someone else is irrelevant, as it's always theoretically possible for vexatious credit applications to be made by third parties but that's not the scenario here where OP accepts that they made the applications.0 -
An initial mismatch would be sufficient to prevent identification of the applicant. They would not be able to find the details across their database. They can only check their database with the information on hand. What can they do? Go through each date of birth to finally find the person they look for.
I know this because i have been in similar situations with my surname spelt incorrectly. They have not found me and thus rejected my application. No CIFAS just rejection.0 -
