Experian linked address - it's my only address

Just got my Experian CR today and under linked addresses its says O2 linked it in 2013.
The address is the address I've lived at for 30 years and been on the electoral role with, so I'm confused why there is a linked address of my actual address :-/

Hi Pd52.
I can see it would seem strange to have a link to the same address appearing on your report.
Lenders will usually record a link when an account is moved from one address to another, or if the address is supplied as a previous address in an application.
It is possible that O2 have changed the format of the address the account is recorded under at some point, and treated it as a new address rather than an amendment.
Having a link to your current address wouldn't cause any problems for lenders searching your report, but if you contact us with the details we can get it queried with O2 for you.
Kind Regards

Is the address is a different format? Address recorded in a different format will be recorded as a linked address.Im an ex employee RBS GroupHowever Any Opinion Given On MSE Is Strictly My Own0
