Who this is for
Your case requires court-stage document preparation
CIFAS Court Order is for cases where the complaint process has been exhausted and the bank has not moved, or where job loss, mortgage collapse, account closure, or other serious harm requires direct court action.
If your case has not yet reached this stage, use CIFAS Representation as the starting point for most managed complaint cases.

CIFAS Court Order FAQ
Questions about CIFAS Court Order
Can I get a CIFAS marker removed through court?+
Yes, in appropriate cases. A court can order inaccurate or unlawful data to be erased, rectified, restricted, or stopped. In urgent cases involving imminent job loss, mortgage collapse, account closure, or other serious harm, court action may need to run in parallel with or ahead of the standard complaint route.
What does section 167 DPA 2018 allow?+
Section 167 of the Data Protection Act 2018 gives courts the power to order a data controller to erase, rectify, restrict, or cease processing personal data where processing contravenes data protection legislation. This is a direct statutory route to compel removal, enforceable as a court order.
Can compensation also be claimed?+
Yes. Where harm has been caused, a compensation claim under Article 82 UK GDPR may also be pursued. Section 168 of the Data Protection Act 2018 confirms that non-material damage includes distress, meaning a claimant may seek compensation for the anxiety, financial exclusion, and practical disruption caused by a wrongly filed marker.
What is not included in CIFAS Court Order?+
This package covers document preparation and case support. It does not include legal representation in court proceedings by a solicitor or barrister. If you require formal legal representation in proceedings, you need to instruct a solicitor separately.
Is this package refundable?+
No. All packages are non-refundable once purchased. Legal drafting and case preparation begin at the point of purchase. The fee reflects the service delivered, not the outcome achieved.
