Agreement in principle and financial associates

Options
Hi everyone

I’m wondering if someone can help

Does applying for an agreement in principle with another person mean you’re financially associated? 

I was under the impression you are only associated with someone financially if you apply for a mortgage, credit card, joint account etc, and that an aip is only a soft search so won’t affect your credit score 

thanks!

    If the transaction doesn't proceed further then there'll be no direct association in this regard

    Okay so I don’t need to worry about it then? They’re showing up on my clear score but not on my mse credit club file
