Search on Credit File but not done by me

Options
I logged into Noddle today to see that someone had obviously done an insurance search in my name and address on Friday when I was out of the country. There's a whole list of soft searches that I don't recognise and that weren't done by me.

Anything to worry about, do you think?

    No. Everyone gets lots of insurance soft searches. They're not a problem.

    Thanks. I suppose it's too much to hope that someone wants to pay for my car insurance? ;)

    They tend to run checks around the time you state your insurance are due for renewal if you don't unsubscribe

    Actually, yes my car insurance runs out in a couple of weeks.

    Cheeky beggars, aren't they?
