Hi. It appears 1 (maybe more) credit rating agency have been given an incorrect address for me. Do I need to complain to the card issuer to get it removed or should I write to the agencies and get them to remove it. Basically when I told thecard provider I'd moved house they misheard/mistyped/misunderstood or else I told them wrong (and indeed my statement seems to have been sent there as well ). I think credit card company have now update my address but obviously need to get it off my credit record.
Many Thanks

I would ask both. I don't think the CRA will change it without the creditor updating the information but it won't hurt to ask.

It is such a pain what with being credit checked for new jobs in a bank and also it means that I now fail the verification checks because I refuse tostate that I live at an address I don't which means paper forms for all of them and more hassle.
Aarrrrgh.
Plan of action is to get hold of paper copies of all 3 reports and then get writing them I think
Thanks for your help.
