Will checking Experian unearth skeletons?

:eek: Hi,

I would like to know whether checking out my files on Experian etc would potentially unearth skeletons in the cupboard, ie meaning, IF there was something from ages ago that I may have missed, will doing a search (presumably I have to provide my current address?) wake the (potentially sleeping) dogs and make them chase me with renewed vigour?

Thanks for helping

    Not sure on this one as there is no harm in checking, but then again it would make you stronger for knowing the position you are in. Better to face it head on rather than spend a long time thinking about it and worrying needlessly..Just my own opinion for what it's worth.

    totally depends. if you have moved house and are on the electoral register and were at your previous addresses then chances are the new details are already linked to you. Same goes for accounts, if you told them of you change then there is probably a linked address on your credit report.
