Hi, can anyone shed any light on the huge amount of insurance companies that are doing searches on me that are now showing on my credit file? I haven't requested and insurance quotes to prompt this information being requested.

Thanks

    It's a very basic search that doesn't show up to anyone (but you). Don't worry about it.

    I have a load on my report from using different comparison sites for home, car and travel insurance. I would only be concerned if I hadn't been looking for insurance around the time the searches were done.
