How can I clear the bad credit history at my new address?
Credit is no longer connected to an adress, only to a person. It used to be connected to an address, but this was stopped a while ago. So even if the previous person had bad credit, it will not affect you at all. This means that the problems must be connected to you, so you should get copies of your credit report from Experian and Equifax, to see if there is anything recorded incorrectly. Both of these have websites, and you can pay for an up to date detailed credit report on the sites, or for £2 you can get a less detailed credit report sent out to you by post.
