After 6 years of having cifas marker, can I open an account with any bank?

I have a cifas marker which was put on, on 14-12-2016. After 6 years can I open an account with any bank?

Does the cifas marker get removed exactly 6 years later?
It should be cleared six years after the date CIFAS had on file.

You can apply for any bank, but you may not have much of a credit footprint for them to make a decision on.

How do I build my credit up from scratch? What do I need to do.
