Keep informed
It’s important that you tell us about a change of address or personal details so we can keep our records up to date.
If we are not able to contact you we may use the services of a third party to check the address shown on your credit history record to see if the address they hold is more up to date.
This will leave a 'soft trace' on your credit record and will be visible to you if you access your credit report.
This does not affect your credit rating.
