I will have a Cifas fraud marker applied but I can't see that will be more inconvenient than the protective registration that I've also paid for. Worth the annoyance if this never happens again.

Just to be clear, it should specifically be a 'victim of impersonation' marker applied by CIFAS, rather than a fraud one as such, which would typically imply being the perpetrator of fraud....

Sorry, lazy description! This is what they said which I think is good:

There is a marker against your address, indicating to other organisations that you have been a victim of impersonation and another person has used your name and personal identification details

That might result in you having to provide additional information/evidence when you apply for any credit product to prove you are you. That might be a little frustrating, but at least it's then likely you won't have a repeat of this again in the future.

That already happens with the protective registration anyway. Well worth the inconvenience in my view,  I never want to go through this again.
