O2 did 3 Credit Searches on me in one day!!

Signed up to Equifax today to take a look at my credit file as I was denied a credit card a few months ago. I have now found out that when I got my o2 'simplicity' contract in October last year they carried out 3 credit searches on me in one day!!

Could this be a mistake on my file or could they have actually carried out that many searches.

Is there any way I can have this checked or get it changed?

Any help would be much appreciated.:p

    You may find out that one is a full credit search and the other two are unrecorded which other lenders cannot see
