Fraudulent entries, advice..

Hi all,
I had some fraudulent entries on my credit file. Thankfully only searches, but a problem none the less.
2 were from lending stream LLC and were small, short term loan applications.
These are currently in the process of being removed.
The third, which I've only spotted today, though was done on the same date. May last year, was from 'TXT IT OU'
Firstly, who the hell is this company?
Secondly, and most importantly, it looks like this WAS NOT an application, since it only says generic check in the box, rather than application - is this therefore a soft search and a potential lender (ie mortgage company) won't actually see this?
Obviously I'll work to get it removed anyway, but I'm concerned it will delay my mortgage application EVEN further than it already has done.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated and I apologise for my essay, I like to type
