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

    Thank you.

    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 way
