What Information do I Need to Lease a Car
Here in the UK, to apply for a personal lease or Personal Contract Hire (PCH) you will be required to offer information about yourself and your current situation. This is generally collected by the broker, in this case, DreamLease and then supplied to the funder such as Lex AutoLease for the necessary checks to be made. One of these checks will be a credit check which will look at your current credit accounts, repayment history, overdrafts, and situations such as bankruptcy and Court Judgments.
