Electoral roll

Morning all. On checking my Experian credit report all seemed fine other than one negative - less than one year on the electoral roll at my new address. I moved in 10 months ago and updated everything at the same time. How much difference will this make to my report once i exceed a year? Could this be the difference between obtaining credit or not? Should i wait until I've been registered at my address for over a year before applying for credit to be safe? My report and history looks healthy again after years of rebuilding and I'm just a bit wary of this negative. Many thanks!

  • If it shows you’re on the ER then you have nothing to worry about.

    The only thing this “affects” is Experian’s made up scores and rating
