Odd question

If I move house and open a bank account at a new address, can DCAs get my new address from this?
I ask as I have plans set up with 2 DCAs and they send statements to my mum's address. I plan on keeping these going to completion, but have moved in with my partner recently.
He knows I have debts, but also that I'm paying them off. I would be happier if the statements continued to be sent to my mum's.
I am on the Electoral Roll at my new address, but the DCAs don't seem too bothered? Will they be bothered as long as I keep paying them?

Oh, I want to open a new bank account as I'm unhappy with my old one - just a basic one, no frills

If opening the account creates a link between your new and old address, then a DCA searching your file would likely pick up the new address. Whether they are bothered or not is hard to say, but they surely would be if for some reason you no longer paid.Free/impartial debt advice: National Debtline | StepChange Debt Charity | Find your local CAB
