Credit Reference
By making an application to us, you are consenting that we can refer your personal information to suitable third party lenders or credit brokers.
The relevant third party lender / credit broker will then carry out a visible credit search of your file with the Credit Reference Agencies in order to make a decision about your application. Multiple searches undertaken by financial providers may cause adverse effects on your file.
Your information will also be checked with fraud prevention agencies including CIFAS and other relevant organisations. If false or inaccurate information is provided and fraud is identified, details will be passed to fraud prevention agencies to prevent fraud and money laundering.
Further details explaining how the information held by fraud prevention agencies may be used can be obtained by contacting us on support@sandhurstassociates.zendesk.com
Third party companies
All third party companies have their own individual privacy policies and consumers should refer to these in respect of how they will collect and use personal data.

Details of the voters roll may be held for much longer. Information about credit searches is kept for up to two years.
