3.2 CreditLadder’s notification that the Rent is received and reported is for verification purposes only. This does not constitute a goods receipt.

3.3 CreditLadder shall use reasonable endeavours to account for all Rent payments received from You to the Landlord (and/or the Managing Agent) monthly.

3.4 Once Rent has been read We will make a record of this on Your account information held by Us and this will be reported by Us to the Credit Reference Agency or Agencies once per month. CreditLadder will use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that all reports provide an accurate reflection of the record of payments read from the Customers bank account.

3.5 If You terminate the Services while in arrears of Rent We may report this to all the Credit Reference Agencies your rent has previously been previously reported to and this may show as a debt on Your Credit Report. We accept no responsibility for resolving the debt itself or for dealing with administration in relation to the debt. It is Your responsibility to deal with any matters regarding this.

3.6 For the avoidance of doubt,

3.6.1 You will be able to access historical rent payments from your CreditLadder account that We have matched. If You request a validated Rent Statement this will include a covering letter from CreditLadder and at least 3 months rent payment history.
