Searches on my credit report I don't recognise

lizzielondon

Hi all,

really didn't know where to put this, hoping you can help

just checked mt experian report, haven't for ages and there are two searches at the end of june that i know i didn't ask for as such so i'm a bit confused

they look like this:




25/06/2010 Searched By: RBS PLC IRO OF CHURCHILL Application Type: Insurance Quotation



Searched on: 25/06/2010 Searched By: AGP (ADMIRAL BELL DIAMOND ELEPHANT) Application Type: Unrecorded Enquiry


does anyone know what they are/could be??

Those are quotation searches and will not be seen by potential lenders but only you. Have you been on a comparison site for car insurance/home insurance or something similar....

They are car insurance quotes - as Stephane has pointed out, they have likely come from a search on, say confused.com or comparethemarket.com?

Well, rest assured, they don't influence credit applications, but noone else should have made the searches. Maybe it was a close family member trying to plan a budget for an insurance for/with you?

Ive just had this too and I haven't requested any insurance nor have any family members and theres no one else linked to me... Is it normal for them to just check me without any prompting?

Could it be someone else trying to steal my identity? Ive had it done before but not quite sure how they did it!

Is your insurance due?

In the past I've had letters from insurers who I have asked for quotes from before send me fresh unsolicited quotes on the anniversary of my insurance renewal. I guess they might do searches in order to be able to do that.
