in Credit cards
Bit of a silly question but do they also check previous addresses I lived at my previous address for 6 year but moved to a new house in Nov.
I have requested to be added to the electrol role but the council say I wont be added until April.
Has anyone sucessfully applied before without this?

I phoned a few and they could not tell me if the electrol role part would fail. Guess I will have to wait0

It would flag risk signs recent change of address & not being on the electoral roll at the new property, wouldn't like to say for sure but I would hedge my bets on a decline.Can I find out my credit score?You do not have a single credit score or rating. Different organisations take different information into account when working out your credit score and may have different scores for different products. (Kindly from Experian)0
