    On your credit report as what?  An open account, a search?  Give us a clue.  
  • Did you pay your insurance up front in full or monthly? Monthly is essentially a loan paid off over a year hence why it could be on your credit file.

    They are the finance company for your car insurance as you're paying monthly. Have a look over all the papers for your car policy as it will state BISL provide the credit.
    Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.
