Thinking of applying for a loan to buy a car as I no longer have any outstanding credit at all.

However I moved out of my parents about 8 months ago and I am currently renting. The thing is all of my accounts such as my bank details and credit cards are still registered on my parents address. This hasn't been an issue because I manage everything online and am back home regular to collect any mail.

The reason I never changed my address was because loads of debt collection agencies were after the guy who rented the house before me. As far as I am aware this shouldn't make any difference but I was paranoid anyway.

So the question is if I apply for a loan on my parents address and they ask about my residential status I can't really put renting ? But if I put living with parents then I will effectively by lying on the application ?

I am thinking of using my parents address, anyone strongly suggest I shouldn't do this ?
