Overseas Electoral Roll and Credit Agencies

Hi
We have moved to mainland Europe but have retained all our UK credit cards and banks as we know we will one day return to UK - and we use a relative's UK address with their consent. However credit agencies keep reminding us to register on the electoral roll, which in theory we could do as overseas electors, but does anyone know if Credit Agencies also see these entries which presumably could give rise to queries conflicting with the UK address our banks and cards are registered to ?
Thanks for any relevant information !
