Credit reference agencies may create a link between joint applicants and/or anyone else you identify as your financial partner. As a consequence you and anyone else with whom you have a financial link must understand that each other’s financial information will be taken into account in all future applications for credit by either of you. This linking will continue until one of you successfully files a “disassociation” with the relevant credit reference agencies.
