Landlord is not happy with me signing into the Electoral Roll

Your after credit drew. Which is what I initially thought.
Its unlikely. They like everything to be linked! Bank accounts with addresses etc never mind electoral role?
I hope you will get sorted.
Sounds like you have family though
It will get sorted drew.

MissPickle - thanks, as do you all I could if perhaps more entertaining or for a better read divulge juicy details on my relationship ending or digress to doom on how it feels after feeling secure in a home I had built with someone, to now have to resort to what I can at-best describe as sofa surfing at relatives houses while trying to un-do this mess I've gotten myself into. Picking up silly hours at work to try and get my stuff together, but in all honesty (believe it or not) I just want to move onwards both personally and financially towards getting my independence back. I know I am not the first and doubt I will be the last in this situation and the show must go on I suppose.
I am a self confessed sceptic of most things so understand your curiosity though but sometimes things are no more or no less than they seem I'm afraid

Nah that's not what I meant.
This isn't the marriage and relationships thread.
What I wanted was for you to cut to the chase and stick to the facts.
We are not judging you. Nobody has judged you.
I think you come across very well.
But dilute what you are saying and put it across in simple terms. Forget the emotions and stick to your facts.

Now the final bit - does anyone know if this could be marked as anything other than 'address' on my credit file as I fear if it says the address i provide is 'temporary accommodation' or 'no fixed abode' I will be viewed as high risk?

I imagine a c\o (Care Of) address will be ok.

I hope to re-build it eventually, yes All my bank stuff goes to the same address that will be I will be listed under on electoral roll - fingers crossed....I will update when I hear something from them. Thanks

Well if you've got bank stuff going to the address then hmrc will already have linked you
to that address.
So if its council tax your worried about then they will already know.

Hi All, thanks for being so prompt. Long and short of it is I've got myself into a bit of a sticky situation - had my own place rented privately & lost it due to relationship ending and I could not afford it by myself with this I ran up some debt trying to keep the place on myself (credit cards mainly!) and my credit score is super low with electoral roll being highlighted as a cause. Out of necessity I now stay between 3 of my relatives homes as I could not afford my own place - this is them being super generous and supportive enabling me to save some money to get back on my feet slowly - I thought I could try and re-build my credit rating by paying some extra money off cards each month and put a little away for my own place. I wondered if I could do this by adding my name to the electoral roll with my 'correspondence' address I could maybe kill 2 birds and get my ability to vote this year while helping my credit file.......but obviously not at the cost of my uncle who pays discounted C/Tax as he is helping as it is.....I hope this clarifies

I think that may be a problem for your uncle. Can you not put down one of the other addresses you stay at where possibly nobody receives any benefits at all?

HMRC don't deal with Council Tax payments and don't disclose information to councils.

Guys, thanks again, I know it is plain and simple in my case. Now I don't know what to expect, how will that ~300£ difference will be paid, if I extend the contract for another 6 months will I divide 300 to 6 and add the result to my normal pcm? It is a bit unfair, and I will try to explain this politely, as I was never aware he wasn't paying full CT in the first place and I was assured everything is included, plus the fact that his uncle is not contributing at all for this makes me even more angry. I will also keep an eye for rooms although that is the worst case, moving out is really difficult in London. Lesson learned.
