Confirming Your Identity
In order to process your quote 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.
