postcode lottery limited - search on credit report

354 Posts


Evening
Could anybody give me an idea on why and how, without my permission that Peoples Lottery Limited have done an Identification generic check on my Experian credit file. I have not and dont plan on playing the postcode lottery, therefore dont know how a search has appeared on my report. I understand that it is a soft search, and doesn't impact my credit file, but surely they shouldn't be searching at all without my permission?
Thanks

Thank you for the information about soft searches disappearing.
No point in searching those who already do use the product.
The searches are for targeted activity, where the costs are higher so you need to eliminate wastage and target effectively.
