We will go on sharing your personal information with CRAs for as long as you are a User. The CRAs may give this information to other organizations that want to check your financial status.

When we ask CRAs about you or your business, they will note it on your credit file. This is called a credit search. Other lenders may see this and we may see credit searches from other lenders.

You can find out more about the CRAs on their websites, in the Credit Reference Agency Information Notice. This includes details about:
