Terms and Conditions

Free Credit Report – Check your credit rating for free

You are dealing with Loans 123 Pty Ltd
1. You are sending your personal information to Loans 123 Pty Ltd, ACN 626 143 333, Australian Credit Licence 512846, trading as Free Credit Report (“Free Credit Report”, “our”, “us”, “we”) to request Free Credit Report to obtain a copy of your credit file from Equifax Australia Information Services and Solutions Pty Ltd (ABN 26 000 602 862) (Equifax), a Credit Reporting Body.

Compliance
2. The provision of these reports involves dealing with your personal information including credit reporting information. It is therefore very important that you acknowledge when requesting a copy of your credit file that:

  • as part of the identity verification processes your personal details will be matched to information held by the issuer or official record holder via third party systems;
  • you are sending your own personal information only; and
  • you are providing accurate, up to date, complete and not misleading information.

Whilst obtaining a copy of your credit file through us will not affect your credit score, it will leave an enquiry on your credit file which will only be seen by you. The Privacy Act provides a penalty for obtaining by false pretence access to an individual’s credit file in the possession of a credit reporting body.

No Fee
3. We will provide a copy of your credit file free of charge. You are entitled through our service to only one free credit report every 90 days. If you apply twice within 90 days, you will not receive another free copy.

4. We will dispatch one copy of your credit file via email in one business day after you provide your information.

Proof of Identity
5. Given that we are dealing with personal information, Free Credit Report takes reasonable steps to satisfy itself that all personal information it dispatches goes to the correct person. We may make enquiries to help satisfy ourselves that you are who you say you are. If the information you provide us does not meet our current security requirements, we may contact you and ask you to provide additional documentation to prove your identity. In this case we may take longer than one
business day to provide your credit file. If you do not provide sufficient information and/or we are not satisfied that you have proved your identity, we may refuse to supply you with the service.

6. For security and related reasons you must provide us with an up-to-date and a valid email address. If for any reasons you change your email address you must notify us of that change immediately. This is essential for you to receive your credit file in a secure manner. You can do this by contacting us on 1800 100 100
