We want the Government to create a law to ensure that a UK financial institution is only able to register people on fraud prevention platforms (e.g. Hunter, SS & CIFAS) if fraud is proven and not simply on the suspicion of fraud, which is what these platforms allow.

At present a UK Financial Institution is able to register people on Fraud Prevention Platforms simply on the “suspicion” of fraud without proper evidence. This can prevent people from accessing credit or having their bank accounts closed.
Financial Institutions are allowed to put people on “fraud prevention” platforms like Hunter, Synectic solutions and CIFAS to warn other institutions of fraud. This is like putting a “black mark” on an accused defendant with no opportunity for them to defend themselves. It puts off other institutions from taking an objective decision on an applicant.
