Soft Credit Check - Schuh / Klarna
LotsToDo
Posts: 54 Forumite
I recently purchased a pair of boots from Schuh. I had the option to open a credit account or pay immediately. I chose to pay immediately.
My credit report arrived and https://www.klarna.com have done a soft credit check on me.
When I eventually tracked down a telephone number for them and spoke to them they told me it was required to check my address for delivery. I have never experienced this before and I shop online regularly.
Whilst I appreciate that no one else can see this........are they allowed to do this?
Thank you.

It was a soft check as you know and yes, is allowed to verify your address is legitimate for anti-fraud reasons.
