I thought the 'pre application' lookeyloo's were not logged?

A recent credit check I did, shows MSE doing a search- 'QUOTATION – CREDIT CARD QUOTATION' ? 
Long time comper, lapsed MSE'er. Have done a bit of banking, telecoms in my past..

    Depending precisely on what a 'lookeyloo' is, it should show as a soft search.

    Soft searches are recorded, they're just not visible to anyone searching your file.

    Did you click the button where it asked if you wanted to see what CCs were potentially available to you?

    I cant remember if it's a monthly thing they automatically do, if you've not opted out, or whether it's click the button to find out. Double check your permissions if you want it to stop.
