Unwanted Loan Application Help!!

I have recently been searching for a loan for my girlfriend on various websites. I have not however applied for a loan with any of them. Today she received a letter from Personal loans uk saying she has been accepted for a £1000 loan from FLM. Credit agreement forms were also sent in the envelope. The problem is to my knowledge this will now be on her credit report as a credit application and may affect any application she makes over the next few weeks, is there anything she can do?

    Ignore it.

    It is a junk mailing and they will then be after a fee of about £50.

    They will then send her details to all and sundry who will THEN start doing credit searches, before telling her that they can't help.

    Just bin it.

    You/She can always check your credit report online BTW.
