Up to 50 borrowers may have been affected by Central Bank error

The Central Bank said it has written to those identified as being at highest risk of being impacted by the error and that lenders will not let this information impact new applications. 

A Central Bank investigation has found that up to 50 people may have had loan applications impacted by a data retention error on its Central Credit Register (CCR).

In August, the Central Bank said an error in its systems meant borrower information was retained for three months longer than it should have been.
