Tip for improving credit rating!

:):):)

Hi all

I thought I would share this as I had no clue about it and I've actually read up loads on information about how to improve credit rating. I've had lots of different address in the past (as a student, I'm sure many people do) and putting down ALL my past addresses has improved my credit rating overall because settled accounts from the past are now linked to past addresses AND being linked to previous addresses that were ever on the electoral register has helped too! I believed it was just if your current address was on the electoral register, that your credit rating could be improved! It's not amazing now, but the rating has gone up by 1/5th so I thought this information was worth sharing!
