Thousands of AIB customers subject to credit errors

Thousands of AIB customers may have been turned down for loans because the bank sent incorrect customer data to the Irish Credit Bureau, according to reports.

The Irish Independent today reports that as many as 12,000 customers may have been incorrectly identified as having poor track records for repaying loans.

It's believed the errors occurred over a period of six years.

Last year thousands of AIB customers learned that incorrect records were kept on their loan histories, as overdue loans were marked down as being a 4 weeks late, when in fact they may have been only overdue a week.
