Where necessary, for any of the above purposes, as well as to prevent fraud and money laundering, we may release your personal information to our regulators, to other members of our group and to fraud-prevention and law-enforcement agencies or to anyone we transfer our rights and duties to under this agreement.

We may provide services from centres outside the EEA that do not have a similar standard of data protection laws to the UK. Where we are sharing information with organisations in another country, we will ensure they agree to apply equivalent levels of protection as we do. If this is not possible – for example because we are required by law to disclose information – we will ensure the sharing of that information is lawful.

CREDIT REFERENCE AGENCIES

This section applies to any applicant or Borrower

When you apply for an Amigo Loan, we will look at your credit file at credit-reference agencies such as TransUnion, Equifax or Experian. The credit-reference agencies will give us credit information about you including information from the electoral register. This credit search is used to check your identity and your eligibility for a loan. We do not use this information to credit score you. The credit reference agencies will add details of our searches and your application to the record which they hold about you. The credit-reference agencies will also add details of your loan agreement with us, the payments you make under it and any default or failure to keep to its terms. Your credit-reference agency records will be seen by other organisations that make searches with those agencies.

While you are a customer of ours, we may carry out extra credit searches so we can manage your account. The credit-reference agencies will not add details of these searches to the record that they hold about you.

To prevent fraud, we will check your details with fraud-prevention agencies. If you provide false or inaccurate information and we suspect fraud, we’ll record this. We and other organisations may use and search these records (including access and use from other countries) to:

  • help make decisions about credit and credit-related services and other facilities for you and members of your household;
  • trace debtors and guarantors, recover debt, prevent fraud, and to manage your guarantee and indemnity, other accounts and facilities;
  • check details on proposals and claims for all types of insurance;
  • check details of job applicants and employees; and
  • check your identity to prevent money laundering unless you give us other satisfactory proof of identity.

If you want to receive details of those credit-reference and fraud-prevention agencies from whom we gather and with whom we record information about you, write to us at:

Amigo Loans 11a Avenue Centre, Commercial Road, Bournemouth, Dorset, BH2 5RP

You have a legal right to these details. The credit-reference agencies and fraud-prevention agencies will also use the records to analyse statistics on credit and fraud.

Information held about you by the credit reference agencies may already be linked to records relating to one or more of your partners. For the purposes of this application you may be treated as financially linked and your application will be assessed with reference to any “associated” records.
