CREDIT RATING AGENCIES

When CRAs receive a search from us they will place a search footprint on your credit file. They supply to us both public (including the electoral register) and shared credit and fraud prevention information.

We will make checks such as to assess applications for creditworthiness and verifying identities to prevent and detect crime and money laundering. We may also make periodic searches at CRAs and FPAs to manage user accounts.

If a User secures a loan from us, we will give details of the User’s loans, account and how they are managed to the CRA. In the case of default CRAs will record the outstanding debt and, in some cases, the length of time that the debt remains outstanding. This information may be supplied to other organizations by CRAs and FPAs to perform similar checks and to trace whereabouts and recover outstanding debt.

If we receive false or inaccurate information and have reasonable grounds to suspect fraud or we identify fraud we may record and may also pass this information to FPAs and other organizations, such as collection agencies involved in crime and fraud prevention.

Your data may also be used for other purposes for which you give your permission or, in very limited circumstances, when required by law.
