Process for Requests for new Creditor Codes

  1. A new creditor code is added where the creditor is deemed to be common, with an expected use of 10 or more:

1.1 Raise a request for a new code using RoSNow form Creditor Code Request

Requests for new Creditor Codes:

If the request is for a common lender:

2.1 Search the company, using   Companies House website https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/companies-houseto to ensure the request form provides all the relevant information. The request for a creditor code should contain:

2.1.1 the legal system under which they were incorporated or established

2.1.2 any company number allocated to the person under section 1066 of the Companies Act 2006 (c.46) and

2.1.3 any other identifier (whether a number or not) peculiar to that person

2.1.4 any address and postcode 


Existing creditor codes should not be amended/deleted as there will be superseded creditor details retained within existing titles. If an amendment is considered necessary, a new creditor code should be requested however the old creditor code cannot be set to inactive as there may still be pending applications for which the old code is required.
