They arrested her for attempting to obtain goods by deception. The CIFAS marker had been put there by some bank saying she was suspected of false application fraud or something. Because of the CIFAS, the next time she applied for credit the lender (this time HFC) assumed she was lying on the form and at first the store manager told her her credit application was a "referral" and that she should wait for HFC to call back with a decision. She waited for over half an hour while the store manager made excuse after excuse. Finally the police arrived in the store and started using the word CIFAS. My friend didn't even know what CIFAS was at that point.:eek:0 -

This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.0 -
