appling for a credit file

moonrakermagpie

My other thread started off to ask this question but has gone off a bit,

When applying for a credit file from experian and the like, when you fill out the form it asks you for any previous addresses, and says that they will be used to update your file.

My question is:-

Should you fill out any previous addresses and if you do can this create a link between old debts and your present address.

many thanks

Yes it will link the old and new address.

and this will help your credit score, if thats what you want to do?

Hi and thanks for the reply, What I was getting at was - if you know you had debts when at a previous address, but now live some where else, is it a bad idea to fill in your previous address on the application for a credit check.

Could you explain how it would help our credit score,

Many thanks

Steve
