Cleaning term time addresses on Credit report

Hello!

I am seeking a little advice as to whether what I would like to do is possible / recommended.

Situation:

Studied in Edinburgh for 6 years and lived in 5 different homes. All but the last one was during my time at university. At the same time I was electorally registered at my Dads house, just outside of Edinburgh.

Bills went mainly to term time addresses, one bank statement to my dads address.

Now, I've been told by Lloyds TSB that I have about 30 linked addresses on my account, obviously this needs cleared up..

My question is:
While clearing it up, should I consider trying to remove my "Term Time" addresses from the report and having my electorally registered, stable, family home address down as my address for the 5 years? Am I even able to do that if I have had utilities sent to my term time addresses?

Is this inadvisable/ considered to be fraud, lying etc?

Term time is a little bit misleading, as I did stay there outside of term as well.
