The Rental Exchange – Improve your credit history

As a Renter you may sometimes struggle to get affordable loans, a mortgage and credit cards or to open
bank accounts; often this is because they do not have a credit history. If you want to buy
something on credit, then it helps considerably if you have a good credit history (a track record
of paying off credit agreements). Companies use credit history to assess your creditworthiness
before making a lending decision.

Having a good credit history also helps to provide proof of your identity, and where you live
and have lived before. This can help you access a range of goods and services online, including
getting the best deals on mobile phones, TV and broadband packages and car insurance.

We have teamed up with Experian to take part in The Rental Exchange. 

The Rental Exchange is a way to strengthen your credit report without you needing to take on new credit. The scheme
enables us to share details about the rent you pay with Experian on a monthly basis. This is
then included in your credit report, meaning you will then be recognised for paying your rent on time.

What do I need to do?

You don’t need to do anything. We will share your tenancy information with Experian,
including your track record for paying your rent, unless you tell us not to (within 28 days of
receiving this notice). We understand that in some circumstances there may be rent arrears.
Where this is the case we will work with you to address it. Paying your rent on time could help
you to access cheaper products and services in the future.
Not only will we be able to work with you more closely to manage your existing tenancy
agreement, your track record as a tenant will enable Experian to use the information supplied
to them to assist other landlords and organisations to:
assess and manage any new tenancy agreements you may enter into;

• assess your financial standing to provide you with suitable products and services;
•  manage any accounts that you may already hold, for example reviewing suitable
  products or adjusting your product in light of your current circumstances;
•  contact you in relation to any accounts you may have and recovering debts that you
  may owe;
• verifying your identity, age and address, to help other organisations make decisions
  about the services they offer;
•  help to prevent crime, fraud and money laundering;
• screen marketing offers, where you have an existing relationship with a company, to
• make sure they are appropriate to your circumstances;
•  for Experian to undertake statistical analysis, analytics and profiling,
•  and for Experian to conduct system and product testing and database processing
  activities, such as data loading, data matching and data linkage.

If you would like to see more information on these, and to understand how the credit
reference agencies each use and share rental data as bureau data (including the legitimate
interests each pursues) this information is provided in this link: www.experian.co.uk/crain
(Credit Reference Agency Information Notice (CRAIN)). (For a paper copy, please get in touch
with us or with Experian using the contact details in this letter).
We will continue to exchange information about you with Experian while you have a
relationship with us. We will also inform Experian when your tenancy has ended and if you
have outstanding rental arrears Experian will record this outstanding debt. Experian will hold
your rental data for the time limits explained in CRAIN (section 7). Rental data falls into the
Identifiers (e.g. your name, address, date of birth) and financial account categories (i.e.
tenancy account, rental payment information).
We and Experian will ensure that your information is treated in accordance with UK data
protection law, so you can have peace of mind that it will be kept secure and confidential and
your information will not be used for prospect marketing purposes.
