If you have not registered to use our services, but if a credit report is drawn with your permission, we also create a profile for you where you can access your credit report as required, and we may send you communication to visit your profile. Your profile will give you access to your credit report and your credit score. By creating a profile for you, you give us permission to obtain these monthly reports for you from a registered credit bureau and we may let you know by email when a new report is available.

We may introduce you to other useful services

If your credit profile shows that you are over-indebted, or struggling with debt, we may give you access to services to help you manage your debt. And if we find credit products provided by other companies that we think may be suitable for your credit profile, we will let you know.
