Important notice to applicant(s) for credit

So that you know what kind of information is used and how we use it, we require you to sign your agreement to our gathering and using some of the information you give us. Please read it carefully before signing. Where there is more than one borrower, or you are a guarantor, each of you must sign.

4. Agreement to us being given a customer credit and/or commercial credit report by a Credit Reporting Agency to assess a guarantor.

In the event that we ask you to be a guarantor to a loan, I/we agree that Get Cash Loans Pty Ltd may obtain from a Credit Reporting Agency to a consumer credit and/or commercial credit report containing information about me/us for the purpose of assessing whether to accept me/us as a guarantor for credit applied for by, or provided to, the borrower(s).

I/we agree that this agreement commences from the date of this agreement and continues until the credit covered by the borrower(s) application ceases.

5. Agreement to us as a credit provider disclosing a report including a consumer credit and/or commercial credit to potential or existing guarantor.

I/we agree that Get Cash Loans Pty Ltd may give to a person who is currently a guarantor, or to whom I/we indicate is considering becoming a guarantor, a credit report containing information about me/us for the purpose of the prospective guarantor deciding whether to act as a guarantor, or to keep the current guarantor informed about the guarantee.

I/we understand that the information disclosed can include anything about my/our credit worthiness, credit standing, credit history, or credit capacity that credit providers are allowed to disclose under the Privacy Act 1988, and includes a credit report.

This means that Get Cash Loans Pty Ltd may therefore give information about you to a Credit Reporting Agency, for the following purposes:

• to obtain a consumer credit report about you; and
• to obtain a commercial credit report about you or your business where you have applied for commercial credit; and
• to allow the Credit Reporting Agency to create or maintain a credit information file containing information about you or your business.

We will not supply personal information about you to another party except:

• to those that we engage, including their authorised agents, to provide administration, reporting, payment and debt recovery processes.

• to government departments and agencies where we have a legal obligation to disclose your personal information, but only to the extent required. In addition, our software supplier may include some of your personal details such as occupation, age, suburb or postcode or payment default history but no specific personal information that could identify you in providing us with non-personalised reporting that assists us in making appropriate credit decisions.

You can request us to provide you with the details of the personal information we hold and may disclose or use.

Get Cash Loans Pty Ltd has informed me that it may give specific personal information consisting of one or more of my/our name(s), residential address(es) and date(s) of birth to a Credit Reporting Agency in order to verify my identity. I/we specifically consent to this occurring.

9. Agreement for a Credit Reporting Agency to data match information for identity verification purposes.

Get Cash Loans Pty Ltd has informed me that if it elects to electronically verify my identity with a Credit Reporting Agency using the information specifically allowed that I/we have provided, the Credit Reporting Agency will use the information it holds in its credit information files to provide an assessment to Get Cash Loans Pty Ltd of whether the information it holds matches, in whole or in part (and if in part, to what degree of likelihood) with the information I/we have provided.

I/We understand that Get Cash Loans Pty Ltd will only use this information and assessment for the purposes of verifying my/our identity for the purposes of complying with the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (AML/CTF Act).

I/We further understand that should the assessment provided by the Credit Reporting Agency not enable Get Cash Loans Pty Ltd to verify my identity for the purposes of complying with the AML/CTF Act, Get Cash Loans Pty Ltd will notify me/us in writing with the reasons. Should this occur, we will ask you for additional identity information and inform you of your right to contact the Credit Reporting Agency and access the information it holds. Where this is incorrect, you may request it be updated and corrected where necessary.
