Hi,

Another question, sorry! ....some help would be really appreciated. Spoke to Experian about my previous address history on my credit report for the past 6 years (as wanted to make sure I see a complete credit history) I have 5 years of current and previous UK addresses but the final year was overseas. Experian said dont leave any gaps and advised me to use the address I lived at before moving/working abroad, as this was the last known link to my current credit history.

As credit agencies cant use overseas addresses on your credit file, does including the last uk address before the move make sense to give a complete picture?

Please If anyone can confirm, I can make sure I do this with all my credit reports.
Many thanks all..
