They will each control some elements of your data processing which we may not have visibility of, and nor are we able to influence, therefore we may ask you to speak directly with them.

Frequently asked questions

Can鈥檛 find the answer you鈥檙e looking for? Talk to our customer support team.

You will have interacted with one of our customers. You should be able to identify who by the company name after GB Group, which is on the soft footprint on your credit report. Sometimes the company has a number of trading names, so may choose to use their registered company to complete the search.

This is usually displayed as:
GB Group - (name of company who conducted search) e.g. 鈥淕B Group 鈥 ABC Company鈥.

If you do not believe you have had any dealings with the company named, or one of their subsidiaries, you will need to contact them directly in order to notify them you have not transacted with them, and to inform them someone may have used your details fraudulently. They will have a team set up to deal with this type of query.

Alternatively, you can contact the credit report provider to request the removal of the search.

Why does 91猫先生 show on my credit report?

91猫先生 plc offers an electronic identity verification service to organisations who wish to verify the identity of individuals as part of a customer registration process.

Our terms and conditions with these organisations stipulate they must have informed those individuals on whom searches are conducted. This is usually held within the company鈥檚 Data Protection Notice and/or Terms & Conditions of trade that an individual would normally agree to as part of the sign up process.

The searches are conducted by our customers for the purpose of verifying your identity and is not a credit check. There is a requirement placed on many organisations who need to comply with legislation for example Anti Money Laundering (AML) regulations.聽

These searches do not have an impact on your credit file and are not seen by any company performing their own credit check.

Why can't 91猫先生 help?

Each customer defines their own risk level and this is not something 91猫先生 can affect or influence.

One of our customers who you have been engaging with will have carried out a check as part of a recent transaction, for example a mobile phone contract change, the opening of an online account or new credit agreement.聽This check is to ensure the bank details you provide are valid which will allow the smooth set-up of any arrangement you may have with them.

Our terms and conditions stipulate our customer must inform you they are conducting a check and what will happen.

No money will be taken as this will remain as a pending transaction.

This transaction will be removed by the bank within 5-7 working days from when it first appeared on your account.

There are a number of reasons why you may have received a call for another individual, for example:

  • There was a keying error when the information was entered by 91猫先生鈥檚 Customer/Data Supplier
  • The number could have previously belonged to another individual and reallocated by the telecommunications provider
  • An individual may have provided contact details belonging to their partner or another family member
  • It could have been used fraudulently by another individual

91猫先生 is more than happy to consider a right to rectification, and you can submit your request via our form below, phone or in writing. We have one calendar month to respond.

91猫先生 process data on behalf of our Customers or Data Suppliers, which means we don't gather the data directly, nor are we able to update it.

What this means in practice, is that we check data we hold for our Data Suppliers, and if it's incorrect, we're happy to pass the message on to them. However, you still need to contact the company you are dealing with to correct their database.

If we do hold data on behalf of our Customers or Data Suppliers, we are unable to update or change it, but we can suppress the incorrect data so we don鈥檛 share this incorrect record again. The reason why we can鈥檛 change it is if the Data Supplier didn't update the record or change it, then 91猫先生鈥檚 update process would be overwritten in the new file provided by the Data Supplier.

When challenging the accuracy of your data that you want corrected. You should:

  • State clearly what you believe is inaccurate or incomplete
  • Explain how the organisation should correct it
  • Where available, provide evidence of the inaccuracies

When making a request, please include:

  • Your name and contact details:
  • Identification in the form of driving licence or passport, with a recently utility bill or bank statement dated in the last 3 months.
