    Thanks for replies, I was just worried when I gave them my new address it would cross search and link me.
    Wasn't it a few year's ago an address could be blacklisted rather than the person?

    Yes but it is a very long time ago. It used to be that everyone who lived at the address of a debtor was also blacklisted. But that practice was outlawed in the 1980's.
    I'm a retired employment solicitor. Hopefully some of my comments might be useful, but they are only my opinion and not intended as legal advice.

    Yes thanks for that, it came to my mind because my cousin who had an excellent credit record, applied for a credit card and was declined because her daughter had a CCJ and lived with her. This was many year's ago which was a very unfair practice.
