About the consultation
We want to improve the information made available to credit reference agencies to support:
- the performance of affordability
- verification checks by financial service providers
We’re proposing that some information from the People Directory is provided to these agencies. This will address the absence of information the agencies usually receive from electoral registers.
We would like to hear your views about the proposed changes.
