The credit industry has use standard disclosure clauses for using the services of credit reference agencies in agreements since 1988 at least. The Registrar has also published a guidance note on the subject containing model clauses. Ref: debt collection agencies - you should be able to regard this as a legitimate part of your customer (sic) management process provided you are registered to source/disclose from/to them. A disclosure clause to avoid arguments about non-obvious use would make you doubly safe.
