Applying for car finance will require what’s referred to as a ‘hard search’ of your credit report. This is likely to show on your credit score, and if you have several hard searches on your report in quick succession, it can have a negative impact.
By providing us with your personal details, you will be giving us authority to submit credit application on your behalf to our credit providers, each of which may record a search on your credit file. For your reassurance, we will use a maximum of four credit providers and therefore, no more than four credit searches will be registered.
