credit checks?

Hi, Could anyone tell me if any information is given to DCA, or if they can get a hold of information if you apply for a credit report?

    If you obtain a copy of your credit file then you will update or confirm your current address.

    If you owe a debt collector money they are able to look at your file to find out your current address.

    The credit reference agencies also sell products whereby a debt collector can pay to be notified of any updated address that is linked to your credit file.
