Address advice please

PrincessStanny

Hi there

Everytime I get asked on a credit application about how long I have lived at my current address, I struggle on what to put.

I lived at home with my parents for 22 years, then moved out for all of 8 months but am now back with my parents and have been now for just over a year.

Obviously, living at the same address for a long period of time is beneficial but I can't really say that I have can I due to my short break?

Any advice on this from people in the know?

I think if you stayed on the electoral roll at your parents then it's fine to say that it was still your permanent address. Why did you move away? I was surprised to find from my bank (RBS) that even if students use their term-time address for bank statements, the banks still classes the family home as the permanent address.
I could be wrong about this though - maybe check with your bank?
