When do I get put on an insurance company’s “blacklist”?
Let’s be clear about this: you won’t end up on a“blacklist.” We often hear from customers who think they’re on an insurance company’s blacklist. However, no such blacklist exists. You may, however, be registered with Stichting CIS. Colloquially, the Stichting CIS database is often—and incorrectly—referred to as the “blacklist.”
There are several reasons why someone might be registered with CIS. If you’re unsure why you’re registered with Stichting CIS, you can submit a request for access to your information to Stichting CIS. You can use the online form to access your information. We’ll explain below the situations in which you might be registered with CIS.
How do I get into the CIS database?
CIS stands for Central Information System. The CIS Foundation stores all important data in its database. In this way, it seeks to identify potential risks and prevent fraud as much as possible. Insurers can check whether someone is listed in the database before deciding whether to accept the policyholder.
There are several reasons why you might end up in the CIS database. You may be registered because:
- Has committed fraud or otherwise taken advantage of the insurer
- Has had his driver's license suspended
- Schade was driving an uninsured car
- A penalty (negative claim-free years) has
- Failure to fulfill agreements, such as failure to pay the insurance premium
You have the right to know what personal data has been recorded. That is why you can submit a request to access your records. Unfortunately, we cannot do this for you, even if you wish to purchase insurance through us. This is due to privacy laws.
When will CIS remove my registration from the database?
Whether your CIS registration is removed from the database depends on the type of report.

You can also file an objection to your CIS registration yourself. If you believe it is incorrect or unjustified, you can submit a request for correction to your insurer. On the CIS website, you can download a form where you explain why you believe the registration should be corrected. The CIS Foundation will then forward the request to your insurer. The insurer may accept the request, but may also reject it. In that case, the CIS registration will remain in effect. Do you disagree with that decision? Then you can file a complaint with the insurer’s complaints committee. The next step is to submit the complaint to the Financial Services Complaints Institute. As a last resort, you can take your complaint to court. However, this often involves high legal costs.
