What is acceptable proof of previous address?

Hi all

My mortgage company have told me that they need proof of my addresses in the last 3years. I have moved a couple of times so I actually have three addresses to cover (annoyingly my last two addresses total just under three years)

I am not in the habit of keeping 3 yr old gas bills (but might do after this! :o) so what is acceptable?

all I can find for property 1 is an old CRB check, two credit card statements and a letter from the NHS

For property 2 I have a mobile phone bill (I know this is frowned upon) a credit card statement and a letter from TV Licensing (not an actual Licence)

For my current property I have my work contract, credit card statements, letter from the tax office etc...

Annoyingly I have gone paperless with my bank and their 'online statements' are rubbish and don't have my address on - and here was me thinking I was doing a good thing!

Do I have enough? :(

    The credit card statements will be fine.
  • Thanks for your quick reply Leon - you've put my mind at rest. :j

    I tried googling it but the information seems to vary and some is years out of date.
