Should I be concerned with searches on my file?

Sometimes, utilities companies carry soft searches after segmenting their market and before sending an offer. Other companies do ID checks if what you are trying to buy is regulated (for instance, nicotine- or alcohol-based products).

This is correct here, but @Sweetteamum is saying these are hard searches which companies shouldn't be using for a simple identity/age check...

These were Mobile Phone Companies and was in between Christmas and New Year last year. There shouldn't have been any searches, so would that still happen?

I've already got a mobile with 1 of them, yet the company searched me (twice) on two different days! (maybe different stores?)
