Protective Registration Beállítások

Hi everyone
Has anyone ever had the CIFAs protective registration?
My mum has had it placed on her file by Vanquis after my brother took out yet another credit card in her name. I might add this is after a long campaign of fraud against her by him and his wife and this time she reported it to the police and Action Fraud.
I monitor her file for her and had an alert the other day when I checked it said this was pending.
I know that it means applications for credit will be done slightly differently which she is happy about but what else does it mean? We are also placing a notice of correction on her file to explain she has been a victim of extensive fraud.
Thanks!

I registered myself because it's the best anti-fraud measure there is. I haven't had a problem beyond having to provide extra ID documents. But avoid Metro Bank but doesn't everyone? In the recent thread posts on my difficulty on getting a Metro Bank current account I actually forgot about my protective CIFAS registration. Lloyds Bank, New Day Amazon card, B, Triodos, Virgin Money, Tesco Bank were all approved without a hitch beyond providing extra ID docs.
