Hello,
Anyone familiar with whether Shell Energy leave a hard check on your credit file?
Due to remortgage in January but renewing everything has come at once.
Thanks!

There’s a hard search on my Experian file from them from when we moved in the summer, so yes it appears they do.
Unsure whether a mortgage lender would be bothered by a utility company though.0 -

They state it's just a soft check... which contradicts your experience!0 -
