  • It will update your credit file to your new address, so yes it will alert them.

    However do you have a bank account, utilities, or tv/internet/phone at your address now?

    As that would've made a link anyway.

    Especially if they participate in GAIN.
  • As said, if you have accounts that are reported it will create a linked address anyhow, even without checking it.

    If that's the case, nothing to lose.
