Have you compared any life insurances recently, or obtained quotes? Likely to be this. As its a soft search, no impact on credit report.1

I have not compared life insurance or obtained quotes for about 3 years.
Also, I do not see why this would trigger an AML search.
Prudential Distribution Limited say the following about themselves.
"We offer a non-advised information service on retirement products that are provided by The Prudential Assurance Company Limited. You will not receive advice or a recommendation from us."
I am not concerned about the impact on my credit file, but it seems to be a strange search that does not pertain to me in any way0
