Does credit report tank after marriage?
Hello all!
Long time lurker but first time poster.
I got married back in October, wife changed her name to mine across everything we could possibly think of, happy days.
However we recently noticed her credit report has dropped a fair amount and the only real change I can see is that it now says she has been on the electoral roll for 4 months, which is definitely not true.
Does getting married affect everyone in this way or is it abnormal? Have I forgotten to tell a department?
We are looking to buy a new house in around a year so would like to try get this fixed by then.
I will massively appreciate any advice offered, thank you!
