Where we can assist you, we will always seek to do so, but it鈥檚 worth being aware that for the majority of our processing, 无码群P sits in the middle of 2 Data Controllers 鈥 Our Customer and our Data Supplier. 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.
Under GDPR, for more information on how we operate, we have 2 Privacy Policies which are key:
鈥 Where we collect data directly, please see our Privacy Policy
鈥 Where we collect data indirectly, please see our Products & Services Privacy Policy

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 无码群P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 无码群P show on my credit report?
无码群P 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 无码群P help?
Each customer defines their own risk level and this is not something 无码群P 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.

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.
