What is a credit check?
A credit check is when a finance lender or loan company, asks to take a look at your credit file. Usually, a credit check is performed when you apply for any sort of financial agreement, this can include mortgages, credit cards, car finance and even mobile phone contracts. Credit checks are used to assess the level of risk and likelihood of consumers paying back their finance on time and in full. Car finance lending is all about future predictions and your credit report is a good indicator of what type of borrower you are. Usually, car finance with good credit gives you access to the lowest finance rates, and it can be easier to get an approval.

Why use a soft search credit check for car finance?
A car finance soft search is when you agree for our lenders to take a look at your credit file. A soft check means that lenders only get access to part of your report and can’t see your full history. This allows us to gain access to information listed on your credit report such as personal details like name and address, any active credit accounts in your name, details of your payment history and any public records. When a soft search car finance check is performed against you, it is recorded but won’t leave a visible footprint on your report and won’t affect your current credit score either. A quick assessment of your credit history means that our lenders can assess the level of risk and also set low-rate car finance deals accordingly.
Check your eligibility
Our car finance checker allows you to see where you fall on the credit scale and the likelihood of being approved for our low-interest credit deals.
Do soft searches affect credit scores?
The main reason that our lenders use a car finance soft check is to allow drivers to compare car finance deals without harming their credit. You can view soft checks on your credit file, but they won’t have an impact on any of your current information. The credit referencing agency that provided your credit report retains information regarding your credit history and the searches on your credit file. We don’t use any lenders who will perform a hard search upon application, but some may require a hard search to be performed at the very end of the deal when everything has been finalised. Soft searches mean you can compare finance deals with no credit impact, and we can even show you the credit limit you could get without the need for a hard search being performed. We are experts in the car finance industry and treat each and every applicant as an individual, helping drivers all over the UK get a bespoke finance deal.
