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Outdated risk classifications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

You may not know the source — only the symptoms.

You may not know the source — only the symptoms.

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

Diagnose. Challenge. Correct. Position.

Diagnose. Challenge. Correct. Position.

Clean Slate combines source investigation, evidence review, privacy and data-rights processes, structured correspondence, and institutional positioning into one coordinated remediation service.

01 Adverse Data Audit — A structured diagnostic review of the client’s history, evidence, known adverse material, screening friction, and likely source pathways. The objective is to establish what appears relevant, what may be inaccurate or disproportionate, and where remediation effort is most likely to create value.

02 Source Mapping — Identify potential originating sources, archives, screening providers, data brokers, and downstream profile issues. This helps distinguish the original source of a problem from systems that may simply be repeating or syndicating it.

03 DSAR Strategy — Prepare and coordinate data-access requests where appropriate to establish what information is being held, where it may have come from, how it is being used, and which organisations may need to be approached next.

04 Rectification & Accuracy Challenges — Challenge inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, misleading, or misattributed information where there is a proper evidential basis, supported by clear documentation and chronology.

05 Restriction, Erasure & Suppression — Assess whether restriction, erasure, delisting, suppression, or reduced visibility may be appropriate depending on the data, the underlying facts, the legal basis, and the organisation involved.

06 Complaint & Escalation Preparation — Prepare structured complaints, evidence bundles, chronologies, and escalation material where initial engagement does not resolve the issue.

07 Institutional Positioning — Help the client present a clearer, properly documented explanation to banks, lenders, brokers, investment platforms, insurers, payment providers, and other institutions.

THE PROCESS

A disciplined route through a fragmented system.

A disciplined route through a fragmented system.

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

Sometimes the answer is not deletion. It is better evidence.

Sometimes the answer is not deletion. It is better evidence.

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 aim is the strongest realistic improvement.

The aim is the strongest realistic improvement.

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.

Every matter is subject to an initial suitability review.

Inaccurate information corrected
Profile details amended
Outdated classifications clarified
Source material removed or neutralised
Adverse visibility reduced
Third-party profiles suppressed or removed
Nil-search outcomes where appropriate
Better documented future onboarding
Clear residual-risk position where removal is not achievable

No particular outcome is guaranteed. Results depend on the facts, the data source, the applicable legal basis, and decisions made by independent third parties.
