5 7 Declaration and Signatures (continued) Credit reference agencies I understand that in order to consider my registration (including as part of an annual review of my business), you will use the information for credit assessment, which may include credit scoring. For more information on how credit scoring works, I can read the Your application and credit scoring leaflet. You may make any enquiries relating to me that you consider necessary (for example, from another financial institution) and search the files of credit reference agencies, which will keep a record of each search. This could affect my ability to get credit elsewhere within a short period of time. Details about this application (whether or not it goes ahead) will be recorded at the credit reference agency. A financial link between joint applicants or between myself and any named partner or spouse will be created at the credit reference agency. This will link our financial records, where each will be taken into account in all future applications by either or both of us. If I already have a financial association you will assess my application on this basis. This situation will continue until one of us successfully files for a disassociation at the credit reference agency. You will also pass details about me and how I run my account to credit reference agencies and that this information may affect my ability to get credit.
