Shell Energy credit check

Savedotmoney

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.

Just as I read this reply they responded to my customer service request.

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

Either way it will have no impact on your mortgage application.
