  • CIFAS Marker

    Hi Guys,

    New to forum but not new to the great work you do in general - which firstly I'll thank you for.

    So here's my case....

    My company was in the processing of shutting down and I was made redundant in October 2017. During that time, I applied for a security position, of which the recruitment process was 6 months. After completing all the stages, I then went onto background screening - which I failed, but they could not provide feedback.

    After that, I applied for a new bank account with Lloyds and although they opened the account they then promptly closed it down - sending me a letter referencing CIFAS' contact details. I had never heard of CIFAS, but naively did not pursue the matter.

    I was then offered a contract of employment, which I accepted - but was subsequently refused due to the CIFAS marker. I then sent off a SAR, which was not processed for 22 days (until I sent another recorded delivery). CIFAS response stated I had an Application Fraud (Facility Refused) marker dating to November 2012.

    I initially called the company in question and asked if there was any reference to the CIFAS on their records, to which they stated they could not see anything and was given another number to call for Customer Relations. I started a complaint which they stated could take up to 8 weeks to resolve.

    I have no recollection of myself ever providing material falsehoods (in this case a bank statement), also they cannot show me the document I have apparently provided. Also, the company in question is not on the CIFAS' members page.

    I'm asking for some advice on a) how I could speed up the process (as the employment offer may still stand), b) whether the company who has submitted the marker have to be on the CIFAS members list to do so? and c) whether hiring a solicitor could speed the process and if there are any that the members could recommend?

    I appreciate any help that could aid me in this situation - obviously it's been extremely stressful.

    Debt is like any other trap, easy enough to get into, but hard enough to get out of.
