    As said elsewhere on this web site, don't use real name and addresses etc. when doing research for insurance quotes

    Fred Blogs and an annoying estate agent in Birmingham must be getting a lot of attention! Those are the details I use when comparing.

    I was just wondering if there is anything I could do to change this? It has annoyed me a little because I've worked really hard to get an excellent rating :(

    Hate to say it but no you haven't as you dont have a credit rating. Ignore the score change and indeed the score itself as it is totally meaningless.

    Ironically, its not totally meaningless, some of the insurers that have put all these searching on the OPs CRA do use the score for pricing purposes.

    Any self respecting credit provider however dont use it and have their own scoring/ rating mechanism
