Anti Money Laundering ID check

Nikkimikki

Hi, I need to some advice on an entry that appeared on my credit report.  It came up as ‘Anti Money Laundering Identity verification’ and was performed by the BG Group and initiated by Cassava Enterprises Nc.  

I can see that Cassava Enterprises own many of the online gambling sites none of which I have ever used.  I am therefore extremely concerned that someone has used my details to sign up to these sites. 

i have tried to contact the BG Group but they could not provide any more info.  I can’t find anyway of contacting Cassava Enterprises.  

Any advice on what I should do?  I have contacted Action Fraud already and they advised to just keep an eye on my credit report for any further unusual activity.  

Thanks!

That's the best you can do at this stage.

Alternatively, you could contact Cassava Enterprises.

The web of gambling companies and their subsidiaries is considerable. If you do any kind of gambling, there is a good chance it is legitimate. The Gambling Commission is really hot now on making sure firms conduct checks on clients for AML.

I don’t gamble at all which is why I was concerned this checked popped up on my credit report.

Do you have a partner with whom you have any joint accounts? Just thinking outside the box - that if it's not you - it might be your partner? I know that when Partner A applies for finance - if Partner B is financially linked in some way - their file can also be searched, even though they're not the one applying for credit. I'm not sure if it works the same way with AML checks - but it's just a thought to consider.

Thanks but no it’s just me.  Will just have to keep an eye on my credit reports in the meantime.
