Is my new address blacklisted?

how can I find out if my new address (the house I've just bought) has been blacklisted because of a previous owner / tenant?

Answers

In theory you should be affected if the previous owner has had a bad credit rating in the past. But ifyou find that you are being refused credit, then you should get a copy of your credit file and see if there is any adverse information on it. You could then put a notice on to say that you are nothing to do with the previous owners.

If you find yourself getting mail for the previous person, mark it gone away and put it back in the post.
