You have the right to request that credit reporting bodies not use your personal information for this purpose. To do so, use the contact details on the websites noted above.
You also have the right to request the credit reporting body not to use or disclose your credit reporting information, if you believe on reasonable grounds that you have been, or are likely to be, a victim of fraud.
You have the right to request access to the personal information (including credit related personal information) that we hold about you, or seek correction of that information.
