Cifas Marker (misuse of facilities)

Hi Lloyds bank put Cifas marker on my name in 16 April 18,so on 17th April 24 I did DSAR and it's been removed from CIFAS database.
My question is -
1 - I wanted to buy a house and it's been reserved,what is the  chances to aprove the mortgage after kne week of Cifas removed?
2- misuse of facilities  marker was not showing in my credit report even when marker was in my name, is it credit agencies/lenders enquiry directly on CIFAS database or how often credit agencies/lender updates their database?

    There is a chance, but a week is not something I would be willing to risk, give it a month. If a bank checks you once and sees the marker then they will not lend even after it has gone.

    It would never show on your credit report, CIFAS is separate banks check directly with CIFAS. 

    Firstly you should speak to a broker rather than applying directly with a bank, secondly do not apply for a mortgage (or any financial product) with the bank (or wider group) that applied the CIFAS marker as they will almost always reject you, thirdly, do not apply for a mortgage with any banks that you applied directly a product whilst you had the marker as they will still have the CIFAS marker rejection from previous applications. Finally, if you have had a CIFAS marker for the last six years are you actually in a suitable position to get a mortgage, credit history, deposit, bank accounts etc.?

    Thank you so much for the reply- yes I am using Mortgage broker and house reservation is been done after I received a reply from Cifas that marker is been removed.

    You are right I need to check AIP Which I got is it related to the bank which applied marker l.
