Non-existent products on Equifax verification?

I have recently tried to get my statutory credit report from Equifax to check that there are no errors. Due to having just moved in with my partner I am having difficulty verifying my current address as I have no documents with it on as yet, so I can't see my report. When I attempted to access my report there were a few verification questions which asked for me to confirm details such as where I have my current account as well as questions relating to things such as a car loan and a mortgage which I do not have. Is this something to be concerned about or is it just there to catch out nefarious actors trying to access my credit report?

The latter.1

One of the question options should be something like 'None of the above' - if you haven't had it - that's the one to select. Yes - it's to catch out people pretending to be you.1
