Confusing credit reports!

Hi there,
I don't know if I'm in the right place for posting this question, but here goes! I have recently moved in with my boyfriend and want to update my details with credit expert. The problem is I have substantial loans/credit card debt and have been refused credit in the past and don't want this to impact on my partner's credit history. If I change the address will it affect any future credit applications he makes? I have read the part about 'financial associations' but am still wary that my debt problems could become his if we share the same address.
Also, I have 2 credit cards that don't appear to be on my report (these reports are so complicated it could be just me not reading it properly!) I have just paid one card off so would like that to show on my report but I still owe a substantial amount on the other one so if it's not appearing on my report I'd like to keep it that way, although I have gone over the limit a couple of times I do pay off the minimum amount each month.
Can anybody advise me on what to do about these situations?
Many thanks

as long as you don't get a joint account with your OH then i think his credit score is safe. Ref the 2 credit cards that don't appear on the report, they may use experien or the other credit reference agency hence why the cards are not showing up on credit expert
chevI want a job that is less than an hour driving away from my house! Are you listening universe?
