Searches on Credit File

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.
