Interesting re soft searches

Afternoon all,

Well yesterday I was accepted for a Capital One card. Not something I want, but I will use it just to help build my credit score.

Anyway, I use Noddle and they tell you which cards you will be accepted for. Now, my understanding was this was a so called soft search. But checking my record I can see 3 searched from them at 2 week intervals. I didn't think soft searched showed up?

It's not an issue as I won't be looking for any credit/cards anytime but I was just a bit surprised.

It shows up to you but not any other creditors.

What you see on your online report is not the same as creditors see and, as Kallis says, they don't see soft searches as far as I am aware.

No, they don't see them - a bit like all of the insurance searches on there which you've not asked for.
