Identify the data controller
Delete a negative entry
Identify the provider and exact data before requesting deletion of a negative entry
A “negative entry” may refer to different databases and facts. An effective request starts by identifying who processes the data and what exactly is stored.
What you should know
Delete a negative entry
KSV, CRIF, internal bank data and public insolvency records are different sources.
Obtain an Article 15 report and check the source, amount, date and status.
Inaccurate data should be rectified; lawful and still necessary data is not deleted merely because a loan is desired.
Even after erasure, a lender separately assesses income, budget and existing debt.
