Declined Credit Applications
We guarantee that your application will have been given full consideration through the credit scoring system. This system takes into account the information you provided on your completed application form. Points are allocated to each piece of information supplied and then added up to produce a total score. A Credit Reference Agency will also have been contacted and a score applied to the information they hold about you.
Your application may have been declined either due to the score attributed to your application details, or the score from the Credit Reference Agency not meeting the minimum requirements.
As your application may have been declined due to information from a Credit Reference Agency, in accordance with section 26 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974, V12 Retail Finance are required to notify you that the Agency consulted on your applications was:-
Experian Help Service
P.O. Box 8000
Nottingham
NG1 5GX
The Agency will be happy to provide you with a copy of your credit file if you write to them direct enclosing a £2.50 administration fee. If your application was declined due to the score attributed to your personal application details, the information you receive from the Agency may not show anything detrimental.
We understand that you may be unhappy with the decision and wish to discuss the matter further. Unfortunately, due to the Data Protection Act they are unable to discuss this with you over the telephone. However, you can write to them at the address provided on the decision page of your decline letter and they will be happy to provide you with more information regarding the decision.
Please rest assured that the decision to decline your application is known only to yourself and Beaverbrooks and has not been disclosed to anyone outside the organisation.
