CIFAS
CIFAS provides a range of fraud prevention services to its members, including a fraud avoidance system used by the majority of the UK's financial services companies. This system allows members organisations to exchange the following information:
- If false or inaccurate information is provided and fraud is identified, details will be passed to fraud prevention agencies.
- Law enforcement agencies may access and use this information.
- We and other organisations may access and use this information to prevent fraud and money laundering, for example, when:
- Checking details on applications for credit and credit related or other facilities
- Managing credit and credit related accounts or facilities
- Recovering debt
- Checking details on proposals for all types of insurance
- Checking details of job applicants and employees.
This exchange of information is referred to in a use of personal data clause on application forms and agreements. CIFAS does not provide a credit reference service. CIFAS only provides a fraud prevention service. To find out more about CIFAS go to http://www.cifas.org.uk/what_is_cifas.asp
