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 Identity Fraud 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.
