Expat returning to UK after 6 years

Posts: 6 Forumite
Hi, first post - be gentle.
I'm an Expat about to move back to the UK. I have not had a UK address for 6 years and the only "credit" I have had in the UK has been a credit card with my UK bank account (although registered to my foreign address). Used the card a few times a month and always paid up.
Does anyone know if that card will go towards my credit file even though it was a foreign address?
I presume I'll have no chance of getting a mobile phone contract.
Any advice appreciated.

If you change the address the credit card company has to your new UK one then the history of it should stay on your report now you are back.Still rolling rolling rolling......
