    It will appear on your file like normal, a search will appear usually instantly even on the free ones, sometimes 2-3 days later based on the emails I get from the free ones

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    Soft searches will be shown on the credit file (free ones definitely are)

    Give it a few but also check the other 2 agencies - Clear Score and Credit Karma you can see for free, Experian you'd have to use the free trial, not sure if they appear on the statutory report
