New entry on clearscore credit report

Options
H all - I have just been checking my credit report on clearscore thanks to the regular email and for the first time its says A credit agreement is being added to your report .  On my clearscore report and entry says "Severn Trent has been added".

Am I correct in thinking this is just because they are now sending data to Clearscore and nothing to be concerned about ? 

Any advice welcome.
Thanks in advance

    The only time I worry about this sort of thing is if it's something I've no association with (i.e. no account with Severn Trent) or otherwise know that the company doesn't have permission to report what it's reporting. 

    I had this with Barclaycard a few years back when they suddenly started reporting info on my actual balance and what I was paying.  When questioned they said that it was a standard thing in their credit agreements that I had signed up for when I applied for a Barclaycard.  I then asked the simple question of when I had applied for a Barclaycard and they couldn't tell me - and that's because I never had applied for one.  About 15 years earlier I had applied for another bank's card which had eventually been acquired by Barclaycard - so they needed to restrict what they reported about my card use compared to what they report for others.
