Price Comparison Credit Checks
Hi all, I have noticed on my noddle credit report that every time I used a price comparison website to search for car insurance they ran a credit check, even though I didn't buy! I was going to use the same price comparison website to search for cheap breakdown cover (I would quite like a merecat if I'm being honest :j) but I am reluctant now as I don't know if even this will credit check me. I am 23 months into an IVA and although my credit rating it pooped, I don't want unnecessary credit checks on my record. Can anyone offer any advice please?

I believe these are termed as "soft credit checks" and won't be seen by creditors should they do a proper credit check for creditRoll on DFD, final payment 1st October 2017 :beer:0
