How accurate does my address history need to be?

 And there are three CRAs, so perhaps register with the third?

There are also non-CRAs who also offer access to certain CRA data like MSE and ClearScore

MyRealNameToo Can you elaborate on that? I've never heard of ClearScore.

What do you want elaborating that you can't see from their website? https://www.clearscore.com/ 

They, like MSE, have done a deal with a CRA which gives them access to your CRA record which they then display to you. MSE is short term access, last time I checked, whereas Clearscore is long term access but you will get lots of emails about loans and credit cards they say you are likely to be legible for which is how they generate their revenue as a credit broker. 

@MyRealNameToo Ah, I see. That wasn't immediately apparent to me when I looked at their homepage (admittedly briefly), so thanks for the clarification. 

I did start the sign-up process for MSE's Credit Club, but they ask for your address history, too.

Whenever I've done addresses they seem to be accepting of a vague date - I moved into my other half's house after travelling post uni and I always put my data as, say November 2010, if pressed I put 1st of the month. I work on when I went on the electoral register
