Credit Reference Agencies (CRA) and Fraud Prevention Agencies (FPA) – A concise guide.

We, (including the other brands we own) and the lenders and brokers we ask to consider your application, may carry out credit and fraud prevention checks with one or more licensed credit reference and fraud prevention agencies. We and they may keep a record of the search. Information held about you by these agencies may be linked to records relating to other people living at the same address or with whom you are financially linked. These records may also be taken into account in credit and fraud prevention checks. Information from your application and payment details of any loans made will be recorded with one or more of these agencies and may be shared with other organisations to help make credit and insurance decisions about you and members of your household with whom you are financially linked and for debt collection and fraud prevention. This includes those who have moved house and who have missed payments. If you provide false or inaccurate information and fraud is suspected, it will be recorded and may be shared with other people and organisations. We, and other credit organisations, may also use technology to detect and prevent fraud.

When a credit check is performed a footprint will appear on your credit file, this can be seen by other lenders and financial organisations. CRA’s provide shared credit information, fraud prevention information, public information including the electoral register.

Where you are financially linked to another person, their data may also be provided by the CRA’s and FPA’s and a footprint left on their file too. You, or they, can apply to the CRA’s to have this financial link removed.

You can obtain from the CRA details of the information they hold on you. Some may make a small charge for this, up to a statutory maximum. Contact details for the 3 main UK CRA’s are:

  • CallCredit, Consumer Services Team, PO Box 491, Leeds, LS3 1WZ or call 0870 0601414
  • Equifax Ltd, Customer Service Centre, PO Box 10036, Leicester, LE3 4FS or call 0800 014 2955 or 0333 321 4043 or log on to www.equifax.co.uk
  • Experian, Consumer Help Service, PO Box 8000, Nottingham NG80 7WF or call 0844 4818000 or log on to www.experian.co.uk
  • (Calls to 0800 numbers are free from UK landlines and since July 2015 free from UK mobiles, calls to 0333 numbers from landlines and mobiles are normally included in bundled call packages, otherwise calls cost 9.58p per minute and 15.97p connection fee from a BT landline.
