Electoral Role

Hi. I'm hoping someone can help me. I moved house, and registered my new address on the electoral role. This was a month ago. My credit reports are saying though that I am not on the electoral role, and that I also haven't de-registered at my old address, which is not far away from my new place. I received an e-mail confirming that I am registered. How can I get this negative point on my credit reports corrected? Thank you!

    There is always a time lag from the council confirming you are registered on the electoral roll to it being updated with the credit reference agencies.
    The lag varies but 2 months is not unusual during most of the year (it can be much longer when the annual canvas is done)
    A smile enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give
    or "It costs nowt to be nice"
