How to download an online credit report

  1. Go to www.lloydsmiu.com
  2. Click on Sign-in and enter your username and password. Remember that your login details are case sensitive. If you have problems logging-in, please call +44 20 7017 5777 or email reports@lloydsmiu.com for immediate assistance.
  3. Click on the Companies icon and in the Search bar, type in the name of the company you are interested in. It is recommended you do not type the full name, just in case it is listed slightly differently on www.lloydsmiu.com. For example, if you are searching for ’Carnival Cruise Lines Inc’, simply type in the word ’Carnival’ (or even just ’Carni’)
  4. You will now see search results. If a company report has been written, it will appear on the right-hand side of the screen under Credit Report Search Results. On the right hand side, click on the name of the company you require a report on. Note the date it was last written.
  5. You will be presented with some or all of the following reports types that can be downloaded: StatusCheck, SpotCheck, TraderCheck, CharterCheck, SalesCheck or Custom Reports. We recommend you download the StatusCheck report as it is the most comprehensive online report and costs the same as the shorter SpotCheck, TraderCheck or CharterCheck reports. The SalesCheck report is designed for sales staff looking for contact/business summary details and contains no credit assessment. You can design your own report by choosing the specific report sections you require if you opt for a Custom Report. In terms of value, the StatusCheck report is easily the best option.
  6. Once you have chosen the type of report you would like, you will be asked to Confirm Purchase and re-enter your password once again, as well as ticking a box agreeing with our terms and conditions. You will only be charged for the report once you have confirmed purchase.
  7. Your credit report is now on the screen. We suggest you print it off: at the top of the screen is a View Printer Friendly Version link. You can also retrieve your reports at a later date if you do not want to print them (see 9).
  8. If you would like the report updated, at the bottom of the report (NOT in the printer friendly version), click on Order Credit Report and submit the requested timescale details.
  9. If you want to search for another report, you can either enter the new company name in the Search bar at the top of the page or you can click on Search Credit Reports at the bottom of the page. If you do the latter, you arrive on the Advanced Search, Credit Reports page, which also allows you to search company reports by keyword, overall sector and country.
  10. You can also carry out searches from the Home and Companies pages by clicking on Search Credit reports
  11. All reports that you download can be retrieved at a later date. Go to the My LMIU icon and then click on the My Companies tab. Your purchased reports are shown on the left hand side of the page. Click on the company name to retrieve a copy of your previously downloaded reports – you will not be charged again for viewing these reports. If any of those reports have been updated since you last downloaded them, they will appear on the right hand side under Updated Reports. If you would like a copy of that updated report, click on the company name and follow the instructions to download. You will be charged for updated report requests.
  12. Remember not to reveal your password to anyone, as all downloaded reports will be automatically invoiced. We suggest you log-out promptly after every session in www.lloydsmiu.com

If you would like more information, or cannot find a company report, please call us on +44 20 7017 5777 or email reports@lloydsmiu.com
