    Very unlikely you can unless they're in your name however if they were done at that address any initial correspondence from the lenders would be sent there so it'd arrive in the post. As credit records are to the individual and not the address there's less reason to be worried, just sign up for free reports from the three main credit reference agencies and check them periodically to make sure there's nothing done in your name.
