What Is A 1Plus1 Loans CIFAS Marker?

A 1Plus1 Loans CIFAS marker is a fraud-risk record linked to a lending relationship with 1Plus1 Loans, now associated with Credit Labs Limited. Companies House records show that Credit Labs Limited was previously called 1PLUS1 LOANS LIMITED until September 2025, and Rate Drop states that Rate Drop and 1Plus1 Loans are trading names of Credit Labs Limited.

In a 1Plus1 Loans case, the marker may relate to:

  • The loan application
  • Affordability or income information
  • Open Banking or bank statement records
  • The guarantor relationship
  • Identity or fraud prevention checks
  • How the loan was obtained or used

This matters because a 1Plus1 Loans CIFAS marker is not a normal credit issue. It is a fraud-risk filing on the National Fraud Database. To challenge it properly, the evidence behind the marker must be reviewed against the CIFAS category used, the lending records, and the information 1Plus1 Loans relied on when filing the marker.

1Plus1 Loans

Can A 1Plus1 Loans CIFAS Marker Be Removed?

Yes. A 1Plus1 Loans CIFAS marker can be removed if the filing cannot be properly justified. The issue is not simply whether 1Plus1 Loans had concerns about the application, affordability information, guarantor arrangement, or use of the loan. The issue is whether the evidence meets the required standard for a CIFAS marker.

We use the CIFAS Civil Dispute Framework to challenge:

  • Whether the correct CIFAS category was used
  • Whether 1Plus1 Loans had clear evidence of deliberate dishonesty
  • Whether the marker was based on evidence rather than suspicion
  • Whether innocent explanations, scams, pressure, or third-party involvement were considered
  • Whether the marker is accurate, fair, and lawful under data protection principles
  • Whether the marker should be removed, corrected, or restricted

You do not need to guess what to write. Upload your CIFAS report, 1Plus1 Loans records, and supporting evidence. We prepare the complaint documents needed to challenge the marker properly and guide the next stage if 1Plus1 Loans refuses to remove it.

1Plus1 Loans CIFAS Marker Removal Process

A 1Plus1 Loans CIFAS marker removal complaint should follow a clear process. The mistake most people make is sending a general complaint before they have the CIFAS report, issuer records, and supporting evidence in order.

CIFAS marker removal timeline
CIFAS marker removal timeline

Do not send a generic, emotional complaint to 1Plus1 Loans. You must follow a structured, evidence-led escalation process.

The process usually works like this:

  • Request your CIFAS DSAR so you can confirm the marker, category, filing date, and filing organisation
  • Request your 1Plus1 Loans DSAR so you can see the lending records, application information, affordability material, guarantor records, and fraud-review notes
  • Upload your CIFAS report, 1Plus1 Loans records, and supporting evidence to your case file
  • We prepare the complaint letter, evidence summary, removal request, and escalation plan
  • You submit the complaint to 1Plus1 Loans or the current trading entity responsible for the account
  • 1Plus1 Loans reviews the complaint and usually has up to 8 weeks to issue a Final Response Letter
  • If the marker is not removed, the case can be escalated to CIFAS and the Financial Ombudsman Service where appropriate

Bookmark this page or share it with anyone helping you. The aim is simple: get the 1 Plus 1 cifas records, prepare your evidence and complaint, submit the complaint, and escalate if 1Plus1 Loans does not remove the marker.

1Plus1 Loans

CIFAS DSAR And 1Plus1 Loans DSAR

Before a 1Plus1 Loans CIFAS marker can be challenged properly, you need the CIFAS Dsar records. The CIFAS DSAR shows what has been filed on the National Fraud Database. The 1Plus1 Loans DSAR helps identify what evidence the lender relied on when the marker was filed.

You should request:

  • Your CIFAS report from CIFAS
  • Your account and loan records from 1Plus1 Loans or the current trading entity
  • Application information and affordability records
  • Open Banking or bank statement information used in the lending decision
  • Guarantor records, call notes, or consent records where relevant
  • Fraud investigation notes, internal review notes, and any evidence relied on for the marker
  • Copies of correspondence, complaint notes, and closure or refusal decisions

The DSAR stage matters because it stops the complaint being based on guesswork. Once the records arrive, the marker can be reviewed against the category used, the evidence held, and whether the filing can be justified under CIFAS and data protection principles.

1Plus1 Loans

Prepare 1Plus1 Loans Complaint

To prepare a strong 1Plus1 Loans complaint, the evidence needs to show what happened, why the marker is disputed, and what impact it has had. You do not need to write the complaint yourself. The job at this stage is to upload the right information so the complaint can be built properly.

Upload anything you have, including:

  • CIFAS DSAR report
  • 1Plus1 Loans DSAR response
  • Loan agreement or application documents
  • Guarantor documents or guarantor correspondence
  • Bank statements or Open Banking information
  • Emails, letters, screenshots, or messages from 1Plus1 Loans
  • Evidence of scams, pressure, third-party involvement, or misunderstanding
  • Action Fraud, police, or fraud report references where relevant
  • Account closures, mortgage refusals, credit refusals, or employment screening issues
  • A short explanation of what happened and why you say the marker is wrong or unfair

The more complete the upload, the stronger the complaint can be. We use the records to identify the marker category, the evidence problem, the data protection issues, and the practical impact of the marker before preparing the documents.

1Plus1 Loans

1Plus1 Loans Complaint Letter

The 1Plus1 Loans complaint letter should not be a generic removal request. It should be built around the CIFAS category, the lending records, the guarantor or application evidence, and the reason the marker should not remain.

We prepare a structured complaint package that can include:

  • Formal complaint letter to 1Plus1 Loans or the current trading entity
  • Evidence summary
  • Marker removal request
  • Data accuracy and data protection arguments
  • Explanation of innocent circumstances, scam involvement, pressure, or third-party use where relevant
  • Impact summary covering banking, credit, employment, mortgage, or personal consequences
  • Escalation roadmap if the complaint is rejected

The complaint is designed to make 1Plus1 Loans address the core issue: whether the marker is supported by clear evidence, the correct category, and a lawful basis for continued processing. If the evidence does not justify the marker, the complaint should ask for removal, correction, or restriction.

1Plus1 Loans

Submit Your Complaint To 1Plus1 Loans

Once your complaint package is ready, we send you a ready-to-send email for 1Plus1 Loans or the current trading entity responsible for the account. Where verified contact information is available, we include it with the complaint. If a direct complaint contact is not available, we explain how to find the correct firm and complaint details on the FCA Register.

Cifas Removal Support

1Plus1 Loans must respond within the relevant complaint deadline. Your letter must be strictly factual, evidence-led, and tied to the CIFAS category and data protection issues. If you are unsure how to structure your evidence, we can prepare a bespoke 1Plus1 Loans complaint letter for you.

The ready-to-send complaint email can include:

  • Your formal 1Plus1 Loans complaint letter
  • Evidence summary
  • Marker removal request
  • Supporting documents
  • Instructions on where to send the complaint
  • Guidance on checking the FCA Register if contact details need to be confirmed

After the complaint is submitted, 1Plus1 Loans should acknowledge the complaint and investigate the issues raised. The issuer will usually have up to 8 weeks to provide a Final Response Letter.

As a subscriber, you also get access to our weekly CIFAS Removal Workshops and AI assistant support. This helps you understand replies from 1Plus1 Loans, respond carefully to requests for more information, and avoid making mistakes that could weaken the complaint.

1Plus1 Loans

1Plus1 Loans Final Response

After your complaint is submitted, 1Plus1 Loans should investigate the marker, review the evidence, and explain whether it will remove, correct, restrict, or maintain the CIFAS filing.

The Final Response Letter should explain:

  • The decision reached by 1Plus1 Loans
  • The evidence it says supports the marker
  • The CIFAS category relied on
  • Whether the marker will be removed, corrected, restricted, or maintained
  • Your right to escalate the complaint if you remain dissatisfied

Do not treat a refusal as the end of the process. The Final Response Letter is an important document because it shows the reasons 1Plus1 Loans is relying on. If the marker is not removed, upload the Final Response Letter to your case file so the next stage can be reviewed and prepared.

1Plus1 Loans

Escalate 1Plus1 Loans CIFAS Marker

If 1Plus1 Loans refuses to remove the marker, upload the Final Response Letter to your case file. Once we have reviewed the response, we prepare the documents needed to escalate the complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service and CIFAS.

Financial Ombudsman Service

We prepare the Ombudsman complaint so you can register the dispute without starting again from scratch. In most cases, you simply forward the prepared email and documents to the Financial Ombudsman Service.

We prepare:

  • Ombudsman complaint form
  • Summary of what happened
  • Response to 1Plus1 Loans' Final Response Letter
  • Evidence summary
  • Explanation of the marker impact
  • Supporting documents list
  • Draft email to send to the Ombudsman

The Financial Ombudsman Service reviews whether 1Plus1 Loans acted fairly and reasonably. It may consider the evidence relied on by the issuer, your explanation, complaint handling, supporting documents, and whether maintaining the marker is fair.

Financial Ombudsman Representation

The Ombudsman will review the case completely afresh. To maximise your chances, your submission must clearly highlight how 1Plus1 Loans failed to meet the Standard of Proof. Learn how our FOS Escalation Service handles the legal jargon for you.

CIFAS Review

We also prepare the information needed for the CIFAS online complaints form. This helps keep the CIFAS review focused on the marker category, the evidence, and whether the filing meets the standards required for the National Fraud Database.

We prepare:

  • CIFAS review comments
  • Answers for the CIFAS online form
  • Summary of the marker dispute
  • Response to 1Plus1 Loans' reasons for refusal
  • Evidence summary
  • Explanation of why the marker should be removed, corrected, or restricted
  • Practical script for completing the CIFAS complaint form

CIFAS reviews whether the marker meets the standards required for inclusion on the National Fraud Database. It may consider the category used, the information supplied by 1Plus1 Loans, whether CIFAS principles were followed, and whether the issuer has justified keeping the marker in place.

1Plus1 Loans

Expected Outcomes Of A 1Plus1 Loans CIFAS Marker Complaint

A 1Plus1 Loans CIFAS marker challenge can have different outcomes depending on the evidence, the category used, and how 1Plus1 Loans responds to the complaint.

Possible outcomes include:

  • The marker is removed
  • The marker is corrected
  • The marker is restricted
  • 1Plus1 Loans maintains the marker and explains why
  • CIFAS asks for more information before completing its review
  • The Financial Ombudsman Service asks further questions
  • The Ombudsman recommends or requires removal
  • Compensation is awarded for distress, inconvenience, financial impact, or other relevant loss

The goal is to make 1Plus1 Loans justify the marker properly. If the evidence does not support the CIFAS category, or if the marker is inaccurate, unfair, or disproportionate, removal or correction should be requested.

If compensation is awarded by the Financial Ombudsman Service, it is paid directly to you. We do not charge a success fee and we do not take a percentage of any compensation awarded.
