    What triggered you to do a SAR @ CIFAS, as it's not something people would think about unless they were worried about why they had been declined getting a bank account.
    I am looking for a new rental property. Had a ccj few years ago. I am starting to look for a new rental propertt. I signed up to clearscore and have asked for my full report and also cifas even though cifas said nothing ontherr on my clearacore. Just wanted to know everything about my credit report etc. Want to be 100% on my rental application if that makes sense
    CIFAS is not a CRA in the sense that the others are.
    They are more for fraud prevention & reporting.
