Electrol Role help

I was bankrupt in May 2004 under an IVA.
I have not been on the electrol role since, I currently
live with my partner, and am worried of going on the electrol role at her address, in case someone comes knocking on her door, or I start getting letters sent to me, demanding money.

Just to be clear, after 1 year of IVA, I don’t owe any cash, but my credit report has not changed, the banks etc have not updated their system. What shall I do?

I also wanted to get a mortgage, even though I am in full time employment, and earn a good wage, I think im going to have to get a self cert…. do I need to be on the electrol role for this??

Thanks for your help

Dan

    You have to be on the electoral roll. It's the law.
    Well life is harsh, hug me don't reject me.

    Will I have people knocking on the door/letters, from debts which should have gone in May 2004??

    Thanks
