ok thank-you for your help

thanks for the fast answer... All my details are correct with them, it's just am I right in thinking that I could now get hounded by lots of DCA's over any previous debts because of this security check?

Hi, I’m new to the forum and have a question regarding Experian and my details. Last week I called HMRC about getting tax credits and they said that they need to run some security checks with experian. I was a bit shocked by this and was reluctant to give them my previous address as a security question. I think I may have bad debts from that address as a result of a couple of months of unpaid bills when I left. It was 2 years ago after a really traumatic period of my life - I had to get out of a pretty awful situation. I’m trying to work towards getting into a position though now where I can get any money owed - resolved and sort out my credit rating. I can’t do this yet as I have little money and I’m trying to get a business venture off the ground. I’m just wondering what entails with these so called security checks? - Will HMRC have passed on details to Experian, my current address\DOB and any links they have to my old address (HMRC do have all my previous address on file as far as I know). I am on the electoral register at my new place and have not been contacted by any DCA’s although I don’t think there has been any association (yet) with my old address. Like I say - I have every intention of getting this mess sorted out once I am back on my feet. Thanks in advance for any help with this matter. Ed
