    Don't panic you can take proactive steps to protect your personal information and foil fraudsters:

    Check out:

    East of Scotland Fraud Forum.

    Suggestion what you could do now to address your problem:

    Write to them asking why a search has been made on your file. Tell them if an application has been submitted for a financial product tell them your details are being used to obtain that product and it wasn't you who submitted an application.

    Ask them to send you copies of all documentation, i.e. application forms and supporting information etc.

    Tell them if they are unable to send you details immediately you'd like a written acknowledgement and you're awaiting their full reply.

    Hope this helps.

    Have you applied for any store cards as most of these are issued by them as well as Asda cards?
