This is a credit agreement between you and us. When we use 'us', 'we' or 'our' in this document, we mean Vertu Motors PLC (company number: 05984855) whose registered address is at Vertu House, Fifth Avenue Business Park, Team Valley, Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, NE11 0XA.

Where you enquire about Macklin Motors Pay Later, we will ask for consent to carry out a soft credit search using a third party credit reference agency to obtain a credit score for you. If you agree, we may use this credit score to determine if we offer Macklin Motors Pay Later to you. If you do not agree to a soft credit search, we may not be able to offer Macklin Motors Pay Later to you.
We can provide you with the credit score we have obtained for you on request, although this will only be visible to certain colleagues. You will be able to challenge your credit score with the credit reference agency if you believe it is inaccurate.
