We use a "Soft Credit Search", also known as a "Quotation search" to take a look at an individual's credit report without leaving any footprints visible to other lenders when they look at your credit report (however you can still see them).
With soft search, we will let you know whether we are likely to approve you for a loan without leaving a mark on your credit score. We only record a search footprint if you decide to proceed with the loan application.
