Search on Credit File but not done by me

Options
I logged into Noddle today to see that someone had obviously done an insurance search in my name and address on Friday when I was out of the country. There's a whole list of soft searches that I don't recognise and that weren't done by me.

Anything to worry about, do you think?

    No. Everyone gets lots of insurance soft searches. They're not a problem.

    Thanks. I suppose it's too much to hope that someone wants to pay for my car insurance? ;)

    Are you signed up to comparethemarket or any other price comparison websites?

    They tend to run checks around the time you state your insurance are due for renewal if you don't unsubscribe

    Actually, yes my car insurance runs out in a couple of weeks.

    Cheeky beggars, aren't they?
