False Application usually means an organisation believes false information or documents were used in an application for a financial product or service.
Most people only discover the marker after an account is closed or an application is refused. It can stay on the National Fraud Database for up to six years, but a marker that was filed unfairly does not have to be endured. It can be challenged.

Can it be removed?
Yes, if the filing does not stand up
CIFAS members must meet a standard of proof: the evidence has to be clear, relevant and rigorous, not mere suspicion. Where a False Application filing does not meet that bar, it can be challenged and removed. We assess your case for free and tell you honestly whether it can be done, then handle it for you.
