Removing CCJ's from Credit Files
County court judgments are very detrimental to your credit score but can also be removed from your credit files. We prepare the necessary court documents for you to sign and send to the court. 7 -14 days later, the judgment is removed from your credit files.
Please read our document Brokers Update which goes into more detail about this.
Removing Late Payments From Credit Files
Many Banks, Finance companies, credit card companies, etc, do not have records of payment history. The information about your account is kept on a "Live System" with no archive storage.
Consequently, they cannot prove you were late with your monthly payment. These late payments can be revised back to zero's to reflect an up to date account history or the company will remove the entry completely.
Removing CIFAS Warnings From Credit Files
A CIFAS fraud warning placed on your credit file will make it almost impossible to obtain credit. Although companies state that the main aim of the entry is protect someone from potential fraud, if someone else is trying to use their ID - (Identity Theft) AND that lenders will take it into consideration when assessing a credit application we know that this is simply not the case.
CIFAS warnings stay on your credit file for 1 year, after which they are removed.
The majority of credit applications nowadays with the notable exception of Mortgages, are assessed using automated techniques and a system known as credit scoring.
As soon as the Automated Decisioning System flags or sees a CIFAS warning it outputs a decline with no exceptions.
However, there is a way to remove a CIFAS warning and we can assist you with this.

Credit File Clearance Process

Step 2 - We will act as your power of attorney and write 1st letters to the companies who have placed defaults, recorded late payments, recorded searches and ask them to furnish us with specific pieces of information, that, by law, they are obliged to keep.
With County Court Judgments, we will prepare the court forms and put together a case to put forward to the courts in order to have the Judgment removed.
We will then send you the forms for you to sign and date and then forward them on to the courts with the required fee.
Step 3 - You will receive replies from those companies and forward them to us for further action which usually involves us requesting removal of adverse entry as the company has not provided the required information as required under the Consumer Credit Act, 1974.
Step 4 - If the company refuses to remove the adverse entry, independent arbitration will be entered into, against that company, until entry is removed.
