Credit check without permission, what are the rules please?

4 Posts
Hi, I did a quick search but couldnt find anything relative, as per title, I have had a credit check done without my permission or even being told it would be done, I only noticed because I was enquiring for a remortgage at the time and saw my score had gone down.
Is this legal? I always thought permission was needed?
Many thanks

Hard check? Soft check? What company, one you have used before?
It may be that you did give permission at some point, without noticing it.
