Public Register Home Page
The Office of Fair Trading has a statutory duty under the Consumer Credit 1974 and the Estate Agents Act 1979 to make information available publicly.
On these pages you will be able to access and search the Consumer Credit Register and find information about the Estate Agents Register.
The Consumer Credit Register provides details of applications for holders of consumer credit licences, both current and past. It also contains details of OFT’s decision to refuse an application or revoke a consumer credit licence as well as information relating to any appeal to the Secretary of State against this decision.
While every effort has been made to ensure that the information provided is accurate, occasionally factual or printing errors may occur. If you identify information which appears to be incorrect or omitted, please report it to enquiries@oft.gov.uk, so that we can investigate the matter and correct the database as required. We will only make changes that are notified by the licence holder or an authorised representative. Please include your position within the organisation when reporting issues requiring resolution to the enquiries team.
The Consumer Credit Register is a publicly available register as provided for by law and The Office of Fair Trading is not responsible for, nor does it endorse or make any representations regarding any use made of the data on the register by third parties.
The Estate Agents Register provides details of estate agents whom the OFT has banned from engaging in estate agency work or who have received a warning under the Estate Agents Act 1979.
