Not declaring your original name and credit history details for financial advantage could be seen as fraud....

Changing your name with the intention to deceive is illegal.

When you fill in most forms they ask for other names you have been known by.. ie in the case of a married women it is her maiden name and a man any name change made by deed pole.

You would be in the wrong if you didn't give your original name.

I think there's a strong possibility that the credit record in your new name will automatically be linked to the old name. It will be obvious that "John Smith" is actually the person previously known as "Bill Smith".

As Shakespeare said

"A rose by any other name would still be a bad credit risk ... "

or words to that effect.
