Will having some utilities registered to another address affect fraud scoring?

I have just updated my electoral roll, drivers license, bank, credit cards, v5c all to a new address. However I have a bunch of utilities (broadband, gas, electric, etc) all registered to a different address.

Will this affect fraud scoring? I am looking to get a mortgage soon and wanted to check what will likely hurt my score.

Thanks in advance .

    You can take some comfort in the fact that you do not have a 'score' - other than the randomly generated number that CRA's use to try and sell you their products.  I would not imagine that having some utility accounts registered at a different address would cause to too many issues as long as you can explain your circumstances clearly if this is questioned.
