Confirming Your Identity In order to process your application Metfriendly will refer to Credit Reference Agencies to confirm your identity. This search will leave a ‘footprint’ on your credit file, which is required to record that the check has taken place. This footprint is not the same as a credit check footprint and has no negative impact on your file.
ID Declaration I understand that you will undertake a search with a Credit Reference Agency for the purposes of verifying my identity. To do so the Credit Reference Agency may check the details I supply against any particulars on any database (public or otherwise) to which they have access. They may also use my details in the future to assist other companies for verification purposes. A record of the search will be retained. Your information may be disclosed to a credit reference agency, which may keep a record of that information; and (b) the credit reference agency may disclose that information, and the fact that a search was made, to its other customers for the purposes of assessing the risk of giving credit and occasionally to prevent fraud, money laundering and to trace debtors.
I declare and agree that:
- All the subscriptions made, and to be made, belong to me; and
- I am 18 years of age or over; and
- I am resident in the United Kingdom for tax purposes or, if not so resident either perform duties which, by virtue of Section 28 of the Income Tax (Earnings & Pensions) Act 2003 (Crown employees serving overseas) are treated as being performed in the United Kingdom, or I am married to, or in a civil partnership with, a person who performs such duties. I will inform the Metropolitan Police Friendly Society if I cease to be so resident or to perform such duties or be married to, or in a civil partnership with, a person who performs such duties.
- I hereby apply for the Metfriendly product named at the beginning of this Application form and accept the terms and conditions as described within the product literature and elsewhere within this Application form.
- I apply for Membership of Metfriendly in accordance with the provisions of its Rules (unless I am already a Member) and I agree to abide by Metfriendly’s Rules at all times (a copy of the Rules appears on our website and is available in printed form upon request to the Secretary at our Registered Office).
