Credit Reference and Fraud Prevention

At Easynet Loans we arrange all loans and rates through other brokers (our agents) according to your personal circumstances and the credit scoring system. This means:

  • We, or our agents will contact credit reference agencies to ask about you. They will then add details of your application and our search to their records, and any other organisations that check on you in the future will know you applied to us.
  • We may get in touch with your employer/s or accountant to make sure you've given us accurate information
  • We can share your information with other organisations, who may use it to make decisions about credit (and credit-related products such as insurance) applications which you or your family make in the future.
  • We'll also check your information with fraud prevention agencies and, if it turns out to be false or unreliable, we may record this. Your record could be used in the future to help trace debtors, recover debt and prevent fraud or money-laundering.
  • We, together with the credit reference agencies and the fraud prevention agencies, will also use the records for training, and for analysing statistics about credit, insurance and fraud.
  • The fraud prevention agencies will also share your records with other organisations to help them make decisions about credit applications and insurance proposals and claims for you and your family, including motor, household, credit, life and other insurance.

You have a legal right to receive details of these credit reference and fraud prevention agencies. If you would like those details, please call us on 0845 2266943.
