For the initial part of the process Novuna Consumer Finance run what is known as a soft search, which is not a full recorded score and should not show on your credit score with other providers.
However, when you decide to go ahead with a full application, Novuna Consumer Finance will conduct a credit score to assess your eligibility and affordability.
Credit scoring is the process used by financial services companies to evaluate the credit risk of new applicants. Credit scoring works by awarding points for each answer given on the application form such as age, income and occupation, together with information obtained from credit reference agencies.
This information allows consistent decisions to be provided, ensuring all applicants are treated fairly. Credit scoring does not discriminate on the grounds of sex, race, religion or disability.
