Linked Addresses on File

Options
Hi! long time lurker but first-time poster :)
I was going through my Experian credit report and I have noticed that there are 18 linked addresses to my credit file with many of them repeating multiple times, despite having moved just twice in the past 3 years. Is it normal to have so many linked addresses on file? Is there a way to cancel some of those as it looks a bit untidy? (I am quite OCD :D )

Thanks for your help

    Yes, there will be a link for each creditor that has linked you. You could move house once and 10 creditors could each make a link, and there could be a few different variations of the same addresses.

    They will stay for 8 years from the date of the link.
  • Great thanks! nothing to worry about then
