Information Collected for Credit Applications

By providing the information to complete and submit a credit application through the Joydrive Services, you understand and agree that Joydrive is acting as a conduit only, and all such information will be provided to one or more participating dealers and the financial institutions selected to receive your application (Credit Parties). You agree the Credit Parties may keep the application and any other information about you whether or not the application is approved. You certify that the information on the application and in any other application submitted to Joydrive, is true and complete and you understand that false statements may subject you to criminal penalties. You authorize Joydrive to transmit the application, and any other information you submitted in connection with the credit application, to the Credit Parties. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, you authorize the Credit Parties to transmit your applications to other financial institutions for the purpose of fulfilling your request to apply for credit. Your application will be reviewed by such financial institutions on behalf of themselves and the Credit Parties. You agree that the Credit Parties may obtain a consumer credit report periodically from one or more consumer reporting agencies (credit bureaus) in connection with the proposed transaction and any update, renewal, refinancing, modification or extension of that transaction. If you ask a Credit Party, you will be informed whether a credit report was requested, and if so, the name and address of any credit bureau from which such Credit Party obtained your credit report. You agree that the Credit Parties may verify your employment, pay, assets and debts, and that anyone contacted by the Credit Parties is authorized to provide the Credit Parties with such information. You further authorize the Credit Parties to gather whatever credit and employment history the Credit Parties consider necessary and appropriate in evaluating your application and any other applications submitted in connection with the proposed transaction. You understand that the Credit Parties will rely on the information in the credit application in making any credit decision. The Credit Parties may monitor and record telephone calls regarding your account for quality assurance, compliance, training, or similar purposes. You consent to receive autodialed, prerecorded and artificial voice calls and text messages for servicing and collection purposes from the Credit Parties at the telephone number(s) provided in a credit application, including any cell phone numbers. The consent applies to the Credit Parties, who are the originating creditors in this transaction, as well as any assignee who may purchase your credit contract. You agree that this consent applies regardless of whether you agree to receive telemarketing, advertising and sales calls or text messages.

If applicable to your credit transaction, to help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens a financial account. What this means for you: When you open an account, you will be asked for your name, address, date of birth, and other information to identify you. You may also be asked for your driver's license or other identifying documents.

You are not required to deal with any of the Credit Parties’ affiliates when choosing an agent, broker or insurer.
