I moved the house just before the lockdown, i.e. on the 23rd of March. Informed financial institutions I have credit card and/or current account with about the change. Now all current accounts are shown by ClearScore as closed and all credit cards but two (I presume those which are a bit slow on updates) disappeared. The new address is nowhere to be seen and there is no option to add it as I am supposed to select address from addresses on the report. 
Any suggestions?
(Reports from TransUnion/Credit Karma and Experian/MSE are in good order.)

    I suggest closing your Clearscore Account and signing up a fresh.

    Are you suggesting that the problem is with ClearScore and not with Equifax?

    Clearscore get the data from Equifax so if Equifax is wrong then so is Clearscore.

    Does this mean I need to contact Equifax?
