Hi
I have been checking out my free credit score as I do every month with clearscore.
I have noticed that under the QUOTATION AND PERSONAL SEARCHES I have one for a Shawbrook Bank Ltd.
On the 27/01/17 there are 2 Search for Credit Quotations.
I have no idea who Shawbrook Bank are and why they are doing soft searches on me. I have not applied for any credit or quotations.
Why would they be searching for me?

I've also noticed that I've had searches from them (24th March) on my Clearscore/experian report, but I don't have any products with them and haven't applied for any. Does anyone know if it is it legal for them to do this?0

Hi
I don't know for certain that believe Shawbrook (and also Hitachi) provide finance for ENTU (double glazing basically).
Hope that helps?

"why is that frisbee getting bigger?"

It appeared on my report as a soft search. However my only dealings with them was a savings account about 4 years ago.0 -
I've also had a "Search for Credit Quotation" pop up from these guys this month (seen on Clearscore). I have no dealings with them, and do not know who they are. I've disputed it, but I'm deeply concerned how this could just appear!0

Shawbrook ate 100% legit. I have thousands of pounds in one of their ISAs.0

Same here so had a look on Clearscore faq.Mine was a car change with Aviva who use Shawbrook. Don't know why they needed a search to reduce my direct debit tho?0

Thanks (and apologies for reviving an older thread). It was related to a personal loan quote from Clearscore.
Incidentally this has made me look at their investment products as they seem quite attractive
