Where any search or application is completed or agreement entered into involving joint parties, we may record details at credit reference agencies, as a result an “association” will be created that will link your financial records.

Where you provide us with personal information belonging to a third party, you must ensure you have obtained the necessary consents in order to disclose their information and have provided them with a copy of this notice.

We may also make periodic searches of credit reference agencies to manage your account with us, including for the purpose of making decisions about whether to make further credit available or to continue or extend existing credit.

We may also add to your or, if applicable, your business’s record with the credit reference agencies details of your Agreement with us, any payments you make under it and any default or failure to keep to its terms. These records will remain on the credit reference agencies file for 6 years after our agreement with you is settled or terminated whether settled by you or, if applicable, your business or by way of default. The credit reference agencies may add to their record about you, or, if applicable, your business, details of our search and your application whether or not your application proceeds. The credit reference agencies supply to us both public (including electoral register) and shared credit information. We may also use credit scoring or other automated decision making systems. These credit scoring techniques and automated decision making systems may take into account any previous applications for finance, defaults or existing debt. The results of this decision may decide whether we provide you with our services or not. If you disagree with the results of an automated decision, you can request a review of your application.
