    Firstly, stop panicking - you won't go to prison.

    Second, if you are not currently being chased then you don't need to worry at the moment.

    Thirdly, open up a credit card account with a sub-prime lender. Spend on you normal groceries and monthly travel costs. Pay off the balance in full each month after you receive the statement.

    Edit: If anyone is looking for you they will find you once you update the electoral register and apply for credit. Then come back here for advice.

  • You're asking which is the best company to check your credit history but also saying your 'score' on Experian is 690. So you've checked your credit history. Yes? No?
    I came into this world with nothing and I've got most of it left.
  • Yes check all 3

    No your credit HISTORY will not be affected.

    IGNORE THE MADE UP SCORES AND RATINGS
