Can anyone confirm how long your addresses stay on your credit file for please? I thought they were only stored for six years or am I confusing this with credit account reporting duration?

I don't believe there is a time limit for addresses. My last address, which I left in 2002, is shown, but none before that.0

The only previous address on my file is an address that I left in 1992.0

Thanks, both. I guess they just stay there.Veteran gamer and clean freak0

Just wondering - what possible purpose could it serve to keep details of someone's previous address back in 1992? To do so must surely be in breach of DP principles.0
