Just had an e-mail from Experian saying there has been 9 searches on my credit report all on the 1/11/15.These all seem to be from insurance companies,i have no idea why these are there,as i have had no recent dealings with any insurance companies.Any shed any light on this?

thanks

Scott

    Presumably they coincide with your renewal date, or a previous search a year ago? Nothing to worry about, either way.

    zx81 is right and there is no need to worry. Insurance searches will not impact your Experian Credit Report/Score.

    If you feel that information has been recorded incorrectly on your Experian Credit Report, please let us know we'll help.
