Credit Searches

Options
Hi,


I currently have 6 credit searches in the last 5 months. Any idea how long I have to waite before these searches would not effect me obtaining another credit card.

The experian website says that after 12 months the searches would be erased, so I'm not sure when would be the right to to apply for further credit.

Also I have another search for Identification and Money laundering?

Sorry not an expert. Thanks in advance

SM

    I suppose you have opened an ISA account and the provider has carried out this search. If that is the case I wouldn't bother...

    Hope this helps...
