What is a credit alert?

A credit warning is a personal marker in the Danish Civil Registration System (CPR), which an individual can choose to activate (typically via Borger.dk). Its purpose is to warn businesses against granting loans or credit in that person's name, often as a precaution against identity theft and fraud.

How do credit warnings work in Uniify?

When you collect data on your customers through Uniify, the CPR information is automatically validated. If a customer has an active credit warning, it will be clearly indicated in the retrieved data.

This serves as a signal for you to be extra vigilant if the customer is applying for:

• New loans or credit lines.

• Financing agreements.

• Installment plans.

What does this mean for your case management?

A credit warning is not necessarily a sign of poor finances; rather, it indicates that the person wishes to protect their identity. When you see this marker in Uniify, you should:

Perform extra verification: Confirm the customer's identity with additional care.

Engage in dialogue: You may want to ask the customer about the marker, as they might have forgotten it is active or created it following a previous fraud attempt.
