Secure your identity

Vanquis working with CPP

We’ve chosen to work with CPP, the identity theft prevention experts, to ensure you reduce the risk of criminals damaging your credit rating by taking out credit in your name.

Every year CPP helps millions of people deal with the complexities of modern living by providing assistance for what’s really important, namely your identity.

What is identity theft?

Identity theft is when someone uses your name and personal details without your knowledge, usually to open credit accounts, obtain loans or even buy goods in your name. If your identity is stolen you may have difficulty getting mobile phones, loans, credit cards or a mortgage until the situation is sorted out.

Your identity and personal information are valuable. Identity theft can turn your financial plans upside down, so it makes sense to take precautions to protect yourself.

Features of Identity Theft Alert

Unlimited online access to your Experian and Equifax credit reports
To give you a complete picture of the credit held in your name, we give you unlimited access to both your Experian and Equifax credit reports. You can check your credit reports online as often as you like to make sure you recognise all of the activity on there and that other people aren’t using your details to obtain credit in your name.

Experian Credit Alerts                                                                                                                                        
CPP will monitor your Experian credit report and alert you via email or SMS if they find anything suspicious. If CPP don’t find anything, they will send you a quarterly email or SMS reassuring you that they haven’t found anything.

Personal fraud expert
If you become a victim, you will have expert help to clear your name and restore your credit rating. CPP will also provide you with supporting documentation should your case need to go to court.

Online DataPatrol
Unsecure websites are monitored for your details. If any of your personal or financial details are found, you are alerted to the risk. You will also receive advice on how to remove your information or take extra precautions to reduce your level of risk.

Valuable document registration
Register your valuable document numbers and we will store them securely on your behalf. If you ever lose your valuable documents or need to refer to the document numbers CPP will make these easily available to you.

Extra Protection with CIFAS registration
