Trans Union

Mr O'Sullivan confirmed he did a check on the vehicle registration through a lawful, private closed-source database accessible to certified fraud examiners and forensic investigators, not the public NATIS system.

“We do not have access to the NATIS system . We have access to what we call closed - source databases . So we have to sign a code of conduct . So they are accessible by certified fraud examiners , forensic investigators . It is not the same system that the police use . It is a private system that is used . For example , Trans Union , I do not actually do the checks myself . I have staff that do it , but I do not know the systems we use , but they are all above board and all lawful .”
