We place paramount importance on customer service and aim to meet your expectations on every occasion.
To achieve this aim we need accurate personal information about you. Please help us take prompt and efficient action by informing us of any changes to your personal circumstances by writing to us.
We have a legal obligation under the Data Protection Act to ensure that all information held and processed about you complies with the principles of the Act.
The Act requires all personal information to be treated in the strictest confidence and to be used only for purposes of which you are aware.
We will treat all your personal information as private and confidential (even when you are no longer a customer). Nothing about your accounts nor your name and address will be disclosed to anyone, other than in four exceptional cases permitted by law. These are: where we are legally compelled to do so; where there is a duty to the public to disclose; where disclosure is required to protect our interest; (this will not be used as a reason for disclosing information about you or your accounts, including your name and address, to anyone else for marketing purposes), where disclosure is made at your request or with your consent. (This can be either as a result of an application for a product or service or by signing an explicit declaration as part of the application. Consent does not need to be in writing if the service is provided over the telephone).
From time to time we will employ agents and sub-contractors to process your information on our behalf. The same duty of confidentiality and security will apply to our agents and sub-contractors and all processing will only be carried out under our instruction and will be supported by written contract.

We always try to protect you from entering into any agreement that may not be in your best interest. When you apply for credit we may use a process known as 'credit scoring'. This will help us to assess your application to ensure that you are able to re-pay the borrowing comfortably and fulfil our duty to you as a responsible lender. Declined applications based on this automated technique can be reviewed manually on request.
In considering an application we will search your record at Credit Reference Agencies. They will add to your credit file details of our search and your application and this will be seen by other organisations that make searches. We will also add to your record with the Credit Reference Agencies details of your agreement with us, the payments you make under it, any default or failure to keep to its terms and any change of address you fail to tell us about where a payment is overdue. It is important that you give us accurate information. We will check your details with fraud prevention agencies and if you give us false or inaccurate information and we suspect fraud, we will record this. We and other organisations may use and search these records to:
- Help make decisions about credit and credit related services for you and members of your household.
- Help make decisions on motor, household, credit, life and other insurance proposals and insurance claims, for you and members of your household.
- Trace debtors, recover debt, prevent fraud, and to manage your accounts or insurance policies.
- Check your identity to prevent money laundering, unless you furnish us with other satisfactory proof of identity.
For these purposes we or they may make further searches.The Credit Reference Agencies and fraud prevention agencies will also use the records for statistical analysis about credit and about insurance and fraud. If you have experienced problems obtaining credit we recommend you request a copy of your credit file from the Credit Reference Agencies. They will charge for this service.
