Hello
The Post Office database contains a spelling error in my address. The address also includes punctuation, which isn't accepted on some forms. I think this might be affecting my credit rating because I have recently been refused credit for one card I am apparently acceptable for, and in other respects my credit report is good. Does anyone know what can I do about this? I have emailed the Royal Mail but I'm not confident of getting a response.

When you say your address contains punctuation, do you mean like:
Flat 7, 103 Park Lane
If so, can you not when applying for products, just use separate lines so it would read
Flat/House number: 7
Road/Street: Flat 7, 103 Park LaneI'm a Board Guide on the Credit Cards, Loans, Credit Files & Ratings boards. I'm a volunteer to help the boards run smoothly, and I can move and merge threads there. Any views are mine and not the official line of moneysavingexpert.com0
