Cifas marker removed

Quick question my Cifas marker was removed on 17/02/23 and i sent off a SAR to Cifas, National Hunter and Synectic solutions which all came back clear. I then applied on Tuesday at Nationwide for a current account which got accepted and then i got the email saying they will send a card within 7/10 days and then another email saying account can't be opened following some checks, i asked can I get a basic bank account and they said No i haven't met their criteria, i also asked them if i have any fraud markers which they said no. Why is it still getting rejected and what shall I do? Is their no chance of me ever getting a bank account again?

    It will be showing on your credit report(s) but only to the banks (not you). You need to wait a month or so for the data to feed through from CIFAS on the monthly update.
  • But they expired a month ago so how long will it be before they actually go? Also all three fraud agencies have confirmed they have fallen off so why would the banks system not show a live report?

    Is this a bank you had used previous to the CIFAS marker?
    As if it is, & they closed a account due to it. They will still have it noted on their system & will not remove it, even if it is removed from CIFAS.
