Not necessarily. I am on the electoral roll and I also had to provide all of the above information when I applied for the post office credit card. The issue with my application is that the dodgy landlord from upstairs appears on my credit report under a CIFAS warning, even though he has no link to us at all.
Once they had all the info though their postive decision came pretty swiftly.Debt Free Nerd No. 89, LBM: April 2006, Debt at highest (Sept 05): £40,939.96

Get him removed then. If he has no financial links then he shouldnt be on your report. Contact the CRA to have this doneSave a life. Learn emergency first aid.
Who knows what might happen tomorrow or who may need help.
Contact your local college or first aid provider to enquire about free courses in your area.
Already a first aider? Have you updated your first aid to the new 2005 guidelines? Most providers should now be training the new (and more effective) CPR protocols, see if they are offering refresher courses near you.0 -
I tried, they said no, that it was nothing to worry about, just a flag to alert people to look more closely into any applications that come from our block of flats to make sure that it is not him applying. It does mean that every application I make gets referred though.Debt Free Nerd No. 89, LBM: April 2006, Debt at highest (Sept 05): £40,939.96
