    When I used it last night it told me that it uses Call Credit and also submits a search to Experian.

    According to the FAQs (down the RHS of the screen), CallCredit and/or Equifax...
    What will I see on my credit file?


    For Call Credit the search will be flagged as an 'Administrative Review' with the words 'HD Decisions (Moneysavingexpert)' and for Equifax the search will be flagged as a 'Quotation Search' with the words 'Barclaycard - HD Decisions Ltd.'

    Slightly differing answers however it seems Callcredit is definitely used- YB has quoted T&C so I think he's more likel to be right
