Terms & Conditions of marbles ‘FastCheck’ Service

marbles is owned by NewDay Cards Ltd (“NewDay, us or we”) who is working with HD Decisions (an Experian Company) (“HD”), Equifax Ltd (“Equifax”), CallCredit Information Group Limited (“CallCredit”) and Experian Ltd (“Experian”) to provide a free service to check your likelihood of being accepted for a marbles Card before applying. If you are not eligible for a marbles Card, you may be given the option to view alternative credit products presented by Media Ingenuity Ltd, trading as TotallyMoney.com (“TotallyMoney”).

By clicking “Check Eligibility” on our applications page and accepting the terms and conditions set out below you are authorising us to provide the information contained in your application to HD. NewDay has appointed HD to conduct these pre-screening searches.

HD will analyse key elements of your credit file using your personal information and will give an indication of whether you are likely to be accepted for a marbles Card. HD will provide that information to us and we will inform you on our site of the result. If HD determines that you are likely to be accepted for a marbles Card you will be able to proceed to make a full application. If we are unable to offer you a marbles Classic Card, you may be presented with an alternative marbles product or, the option to view products from alternative credit providers through TotallyMoney.

PLEASE NOTE THAT:

  • Your credit file will not be provided to you directly.
  • You agree that information supplied as a result of the initial HD process can be shared with NewDay (for them to analyse use of this service and make improvements to their processes or how they use this service).
  • The data returned from the credit reference agencies will be visible to NewDay and HD only and will not be shared with any other party. When you complete this process, HD will use your personal information to perform a soft search against your credit file. You will see a record of this on your credit profile as a “Quotation Search” but lenders will not be able to see it.
  • This process will not have any adverse impact upon your credit rating.
  • Even if we indicate that you are likely to be accepted for a marbles Card this is no guarantee of acceptance and NewDay is not bound by any indication that it communicates to you.
