Featured case study

How a Valid8 credit report stopped a client being routed into formal insolvency.

Philip contacted Dissolve Debt after missing payments on two credit cards, a store card and a personal loan. He believed his total debt was £12,600, a level he assumed put him in IVA or bankruptcy territory. Before any recommendation, Dissolve Debt pulled a full credit report via Valid8. It revealed that £6,770 of his self-reported debt had already been settled, dramatically changing the right course of action.

The Valid8 credit report played a critical role in ensuring the correct solution was recommended. Without it, our client may well have entered a formal insolvency process quite unnecessarily.

Questions, answered.

Everything compliance teams, MLROs, and operations leads need to know about onboarding clients with Valid8, designed to support informed decision-making.

Your client receives a secure link by email or SMS and completes a single consent step typically under three minutes. Valid8 then returns a sealed report containing identity, AML, credit, and where requested, open banking and vehicle data, supporting informed decision-making.

Checks return within minutes in most cases. The exact time depends on the check type and your client's responsiveness to the consent step.

Soft only. Valid8 credit checks are soft searches, meaning they do not leave a visible footprint on your client's credit file and do not affect their credit score. Suitable for onboarding, due diligence, affordability and proof-of-funds use cases, supporting informed decision-making.
