Protective Registration Beállítások

[ftrsquish]

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!

If you might be persuaded that there's not too much to worry about, you might want to listen to the podcast of today's Money Box Live on the Radio 4 website. This was the panel of "experts" taking calls from concerned people. Ed Mayo, chief executive, National Consumer Council Jill Stevens, director of consumer affairs, Experian Roland Perry, founder, E-Victims.org Sandra Quinn, director of corporate communications at APACS Well worth a listen. But to your question - sorry. No experience of this. I guess it depends on how clued up the lender is ... particular their "call centre operatives"
