    I have heard (but never seen it) then when you go through insurance comparison site a lot of them do credit checks at that stage. How true this is I don't know, but it could explain the mutiple entries on your credit report.

    Cheers guys

    thats a bit naughty with the insurance comparison sites im only getting a quote and i paid in full upfront
    perhaps i should have gone for direct debit and got some more green dots on the report


    No its a seperate default not connected with insurance
    is a default removed six years after the default date or six years after the satisfied date?:confused:
