Wonder if anyone can help?
OH has moved a couple of times in the past year and is now residing with me. He has seen a house we love and had offer accepted on it. However his credit report is showing old information - electoral roll at old address etc.
he has updated banks, electoral roll now, but from what I've been told by experian this info can take up to 6 weeks to show up on the system.
Does this mean that we have to wait until experian have updated before applying for a mortgage???
