    You can use either maiden or married name, but not both. Using both then creates two profiles with banks and credit reference agencies, which means you could be offered twice as much credit as you should be entitled to. Whether or not it's your intention, it is fraudulent to do this.

    It's only fraudulent if you take advantage of having 2 profiles for gain. We don't have thoughtcrime yet and especialy not by accident. So your post is not true just an opinion.

  • It could go against you in a way - ie if they were searching the electoral roll on the name you gave, but you were on it by the other name

    also they look at your history based on that name

    usually they will ask when you changed your name and use both names to do a search

    suppose id could be a problem too
