Hi folks,
For an extra privacy reason I am using a street address provider as an address for banking. Does it breach any terms? Maybe it have to be an actual residential address or what does residential even means?
I have 0 CCJ 0 arrears 0 defaults 0 credit cards, 2 current bank accounts, self employed.
I have applied for asda basic card and application got reffered. John Lewis store card - rep told me I am literally 2 points behind
Now I am thinking a) register at this street address provided by an address provider b) talk to mate and register at his place on the electoral roll.
Which one is wiser?

It couldn't be the credit score, maybe an internal score Asda use only thing I can think of.0 -
Ignore anything to do with scores.
You can’t just put yourself on the ER at any old address.
Why can’t you use your address?0 -
