can a new address reported on credit report lower score?

Dispute the address with the credit bureau. Since you have not provided this new address to the bureau, chances are someone else????????s information is listed on your credit copy. Or, even worse, someone is trying to open suspicious accounts under your name. Correct the mistakes in your credit copy as soon as possible, before it starts tarnishing your credit potential. Write to the reporting agency and ask them to have the information corrected. You should get a response with correct information and a free copy within few weeks. If not, give them a call.

When you dispute the incorrect address, you will need to provide the credit bureau with a copy of your drivers license or utility bill reflecting your correct address. To send the copy with the dispute will speed things along for you.

Thanks, I just tried to dispute it online and I couldn't. I checked another credit report and they have about 6 incorrect addresses for me. Then I tried another credit bureau and it said I alreay had an account with them. I clicked on "forgot password" typed in my soc # and last name and it said my account was temporarily suspended from too many attempts. That was the first time I tried to get it online. hmmm

Hi Rochelle

Your residential address is your personal identifying information. If your credit report contains false personal identifying information, then you must immediately notify the credit bureau in writing. Make a copy of your credit report and properly circle the address given there. Enclose copies of documents to validate your position. DO NOT send original copies. Send your letter by certified mail with a return receipt requested. Please send the letter ASAP.

As far as I know, your demographic info doesn't factor into the credit score. So changing your address should not affect it.
