Linked Names

I have been divorced from my wife for over 10 years. Recently I checked my credit score and it links me with her at her new address. How can this be?

    Because you had joint financial products and didn't disassociate.

    Not allways the case, my ex and I had a clean split and had no joint accounts of any find, but he still showed as linked 9 years after divorce I just followed the instruction with Noddle and it was removed.

    You would only have been linked through financial links. Address or marriage only doesn't do it.

    The links don't need to be currently active. They can be historic.
