CREDIT REFERENCING FOR PURCHASES USING CREDIT 

Fraud Prevention & Detection 

The personal information we have collected from you will be shared with fraud prevention agencies who will use it to prevent fraud and money-laundering and to verify your identity. If fraud is detected, you could be refused certain services such as finance.

Loan / Credit Applications

Automated decision-making - Approving Credit 

We use a system to decide whether to provide you as our customer with credit through a third-party provider when you apply for credit such as a loan or an overdraft. This is called credit scoring. It uses past data to assess how you’re likely to act while paying back any money that you borrow. This includes data about similar accounts that you may have had before.

Credit scoring uses data from three sources:

It gives an overall assessment based on this. Banks and other lenders use this to help make responsible lending decisions that are fair and informed.

At Shaun Leane we use this information to help inform our decision on lending.

Credit Reference Agencies (CRAs) 

We carry out credit and identity checks when you apply for credit for any purchases for a product for you. We may use Credit Reference Agencies (CRAs) to help us with this

If you use our services, from time to time we may also search information that the Agencies have, to help us, manage those accounts.

We will share your personal information with CRAs, and they will give us information about you. The data we exchange can include:

We will use this data to:

We will go on sharing your personal information with CRAs for as long as you are a customer. This will include details about your settled accounts and any debts not fully repaid on time. It will also include details of funds going into the account and the account balance.

If you borrow, it will include details of your repayments and whether you repay in full and on time. The CRAs may give this information to other organisations that want to check credit status. We will also tell the CRAs when you settle your accounts with us.

When we ask CRAs about you, 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 more about CRAs on their websites, in the Credit Reference Agency Information Notice. This includes details about:

The Prevention of Fraud and Money Laundering (If they provide Credit facilities to purchase jewellery, etc)

CHECKING IDENTITY 

We are required by law to check the identity of our new customers and our existing customers from time to time. This makes it more difficult for criminals to use financial systems, or to use false names and addresses, or to steal the identities of innocent people. Checking identity is an important way of fighting money laundering and other criminal activities.

To enable us to meet this obligation we will access databases including those held by credit reference agencies where appropriate and the electoral roll in order to validate your name and address. This process involves checking the details you provide against those databases to confirm your identity. If we are unable to validate your name and address details in this way, we may ask you to provide certain documents to confirm your name and address.

SECURITY MEASURES

We take the security of your information extremely seriously. We use appropriate security arrangements to prevent the personal data that we hold from being accidentally or deliberately compromised.

We have put in place physical, electronic, and managerial procedures designed to help prevent unauthorised access, to maintain data security, and to use correctly the personal data we collect online. These safeguards vary based on the sensitivity of the personal data that we collect and store.
