Applying for CC - address query

Hey all

I will need to apply for a new CC in next 2 months to do a BT.

I have moved addresses in last 5months but almost all my mail (bank/CC statements included) is still registered to my parents address.

The only things I have registered to my current address are household bills, council tax bill and car insurance.

Which address should I use on the CC application?

    You'll stand a significantly better chance of being approved by applying at your prior address as the main address. Applying at your current address wit no accounts will look odd.

    Of course fibbing on an application is naughty an you shouldn't blah blah blah...

    It would be best to change the address on all of your accounts, register for the electoral role where you are now, wait two months for everything to update, and apply at your current addy :o
