hi all,
signed up for experian to check my credit report and it has added 2 searches on there recently, one is an identification check and the other a generic check,
all i'm asking is, will either of these affect my credit score at all? I'm assuming no... but I like to double confirm,
thanks for your time,
mutty

No it won't because it's not a credit check.
I think that lenders might not even see them, but I'm sure someone else will confirm.0 -
Indeed, the lenders won't see them, and they'll have no effect. Identification checks, generic checks, insurance searches, and quotation searches have no impact on your credit scoreCashback Earned ¦ Nectar Points £68 ¦ Natoinwide Select £62 ¦ Aqua Reward £100 ¦ Amex Platinum £48
