-this is the forum i think for this concerns.

When you want to find the exact years you have been at an address, and the months exactly....which your credit files hold (Experian),

How can you check how many 'exact' years and months your experian credit file holds (I mean exact years and months), on the amount of years been at your current address ?

If your Experien/ Equifax credit file have the amount of years and months exactly you have been at your credit file...

then can this amount of time be different to the amount of years at the same address which is on the electrol roll for that person ?

    Isn't it the case that YOU tell THEM how long you've been at the addresses? How can they possibly know how long you've lived at an address?

    They know when you move accounts from one address to another, your credit worthiness drops when you first move address.
