Limit the amount of time you have a cifas marker to 18 months.

Petition Details

In todays world, we more than likely get our wages paid to us online by bank transfer, and having a cifas marker makes even that difficult. Uneducated Young people are being exposed to money mueling by cruel fraudsters and are then facing too harsh of a punishment because of it.

Additional Information

We understand that parliament are not cifas, however they have influence and they have a voice more powerful than any of us have. I believe parliament should bring in a law that limits fraud prevention organisations from placing a marker on your credit file, or holding information on you for longer than 18 months. Lasting 18 months is hard but it’s manageable. However 6 years is too harsh. The world is hard enough for vulnerable young people as it is, I think it’s time we do more to help.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.

Decisions about taking action in the case of fraud is a matter for individual banks and fraud prevention bodies such CIFAS, not the Government or House of Commons.

As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.
