    As harsh as it it the would be credit provider may have then taken the view the OP conveniently forgot about a former address because of the adverse history.

    If you had a CIFAS fraud marker last year from HSBC (as per your original post) that will show until 2025, that means nothing more than a basic bank account until then
    With a CIFAS marker you get no bank account at all. Not even a basic account.
