3. Sharing your Information

When you use the Service we will check the following records about you:

1. our own,
2. those at credit reference agencies (CRAs).
3. those at fraud prevention agencies (FPAs).

We will make checks such as; assessing your details to determine whether it is acceptable for us to extend credit and verifying identities to prevent and detect crime and money laundering.

CRAs link your records together if you have a spouse or financial associate. These links will remain on your and their files until such time as you or your partner successfully files for a disassociation with the CRAs to break that link.

A record of the search will be recorded on your credit report in the name of Capital One (Europe) PLC but will not be seen by other lenders and will not affect your credit rating.

If you give us false or inaccurate information and we suspect or identify fraud we will record this and may also pass this information to FPAs and other organisations involved in crime and fraud prevention, and it could prevent us from opening your account.

We and other organisations may access and use from other countries the information recorded by FPAs.

You can contact the CRAs currently operating in the UK; the information they hold may not be the same so it is worth contacting them all. They will charge you a small statutory fee.
