Credit Reports & Insurance Quotes

Hi,

Hoping someone can help! I'm getting a new car soon so i've been searching for insurance online. I've probably made around 20ish searches cos I'm not sure what car i'll be getting.

How does this affect my credit report? I can obviously see all the searches on all the credit reports, but do potential lenders see all these searches when they check my file?

    Im not 100% sure so someone else would need to verufy, but I think they are called "soft searches" basicly their only visible to you and any potential lenders won't see them so they won't impact your score.

    Regards
