Credit Check... help!

Hello my friends!
I have just performed my very first credit check with Equifax, a scary experience to say the least!
Everything looks OK and all the boxes are green, apart from the category signifying 'Electoral Roll', which is red(!) I left uni in 2007 and so I moved to 4 different houses over that time. Plus, I moved into my current address last November and have only been on the electoral roll since March. Is now a bad time to apply for a credit card?! And if so, how long should I wait!??
Aarrgh..... thanks in advance my friends!

Hi Alex - if everything else is good on your file and you've been on for 6months then I wouldn't have thought that alone should be a major issue for potential lenders.A smile enriches those who receive without making poorer those who giveor "It costs nowt to be nice"0
