If you run a credit check on someone at the current address, and it turns out that they aren't registered on the Electoral Roll (for whatever reason; or maybe they have opted to go on the 'unpublicised' Roll?) does that mean that any credit check is totally meaningless?
I've had a need to run one (via Experian) on somebody who I know to have been resident at an address for 4 years, but they have a completely clean credit history (the individual is middle-aged).
Is the Electoral Roll the only thing which links someone's credit history if they move house? How is it possible for me to find out more about this person's credit history?
If not possible, doesn't that mean that if more and more people opt out of having their name on the public Electoral Roll, the whole concept of credit scoring is up the creek?
