Address history.. - 5 years.

[bhumik]

Hi,
A lot of applications for loans etc. etc. ask you to list you addresses for the past five years starting from the current. However I had moved around a lot in the past five years since I was in undergrad and had different dorms every year, and also sometimes I had two addresses. Is there a website where you can check whats on the government file regarding what addresses you resided at in the last five years.

Also is there a place to check your employment history as well.??
thanks

Post office has on file your address history don't know how to get it online and through the social security office you can find your work history. Unless you were paid "under the table".
Banks need to know how often, if at all, you moved cause having many addresses over a short period of time effects your credit rating believe it or not. Its all about how stable and reliable you are

Banks will pull your credit file, whatever is on them, you can list. You can get a free report on line to find out what addresses they have listed, same as employmeny history, most Banks do not do a backround check, just what is on your report.

They mostly want to know if you rent or own, and how long you have been at the current address. Being a student is a "mitigating" circumstance. Moving often does not disqualify you as many upper level managment types must move often to advance in a company.

Like Pesty said, pul your credit report for free. It has every address you have ever listed with, and every job you have recieved a pay check from. Also if you have a goofy name that someone always misspells it will be on there too! I know because one of my reports spells my first name 7 different ways.

If it's on your credit report, it's a best bet it's on your government file also.
