CLEAN SLATE BY RICHMOND STATUTORY CONSULTANCY
CLEAN
SLATE
EVIDENCE / CONTEXT / POSITION
THE PROBLEM
When adverse data continues to follow the client.
AML/KYC screening systems are designed to identify risk, but the information being surfaced is not always complete, current, accurately attributed, or properly contextualised.
A client may continue to encounter friction long after the original circumstances have changed.
The first challenge is often not correcting the data — it is finding where the problem is actually coming from.
Stale adverse media
Archived or duplicated source material
Inaccurate or misattributed records
Incomplete historical context
Outdated risk classifications
Third-party screening profiles
Repeated enhanced due diligence
Unexplained onboarding rejection or offboarding
COMMON INDICATORS
Clients often approach Richmond without knowing which screening provider, database, source, or internal compliance process is causing the problem. What they usually know is that the same friction keeps appearing.
Clean Slate is designed for legitimate clients who need to understand where the friction is originating and what can realistically be done about it.
Every matter is subject to an initial suitability review.
Repeated account-opening delays
Unexplained enhanced due diligence
Recurring questions about the same historic issue
Banking or investment-platform rejection
Lender or broker reluctance
Account restriction or offboarding
Payment-provider friction
Inconsistent compliance outcomes between institutions
Institutions referring to information the client cannot identify
A known adverse-media or screening profile
Repeated requests for explanations that should already have been resolved
THE SERVICE
Clean Slate combines source investigation, evidence review, privacy and data-rights processes, structured correspondence, and institutional positioning into one coordinated remediation service.
THE PROCESS
01 — Intake & Triage
Review the situation, correspondence, known sources, institutions, and priorities.
02 — Audit & Mapping
Build a chronology, assess evidence, and identify high-value remediation opportunities.
03 — Strategy
Determine what can realistically be challenged, corrected, contextualised, restricted, or escalated.
04 — Execution
Coordinate the agreed DSARs, complaints, rectification requests, source challenges, and evidence.
05 — Institutional Positioning
Prepare an evidence-backed explanation pack where appropriate.
06 — Protection
Maintain a stronger documented position for future due diligence.
INSTITUTIONAL EXPLANATION PACK
Not every adverse-data issue can or should result in removal. Where information remains relevant or cannot realistically be eliminated, Clean Slate can help the client present the facts more clearly to institutional compliance teams.
The objective is to give an institution a coherent, evidence-backed position rather than leaving the client to repeatedly explain a complex history from scratch.

POSSIBLE OUTCOMES
The objective is not always complete deletion. The strongest realistic outcome may be correction, containment, reduced visibility, improved context, or a much stronger documented onboarding position.
For legitimate clients facing disproportionate or persistent friction — including directors, founders, high-net-worth individuals, business owners, SMEs, professionals under enhanced due diligence, and those supported by professional advisers.
