Not much, if the information is accurate the Cifas entry will remain.

What type of entry is it? If it's a category 2 'victim of impersonation' marker, then it will stay on your file for 13 months. Other marks stay for longer, up to six years.

The only incorrect information on the application was that it said male however I’m a female & it’s Misuse of facility

In that case the mark will remain for six years.

The bank has reason to believe that the account or facility was obtained with the deliberate intent of using it for a fraudulent purpose. If the factual basis for this is correct, then the bank will not remove the entry.

Maybe what I wrote isn’t clear enough A guy I was staying with as in living with we have a child together , I have my own bank account I couldn’t have checked where the money was coming from because i didn’t know about the account after I made the SAR I went to a branch to see what could be done but they said all they could do was give me a statement

As far as the bank is concerned, it was you. Frankly, I'm not buying your story.

If you're going to commit a crime then you must be prepared to do the time.
If you're sure who stole your stuff and carried out the fraud against you have you reported this to the police?
