i can change my name at banks by giving them proof

They also pick it up from the electoral roll as when you update your name with your local council, they start reporting the new name to credit agencyâs
Thank you! Just applied to change it on the electoral role
Not necessarily. Iâd change it with all who both read and write to your credit file as well, just to be safe. Otherwise you might start raising some red flags with those companies in the future.
From what Iâve read:
Ah, I was meaning things like your utility companies, anyone youâve got some kind of credit contract with like Sky, or your mobile network provider.
But yes, of course. Youâll need to update the reference agencies too. They can link it all together but Iâm not sure how well that works. Everything was fine when I dropped the usage of my middle names, but I donât think Iâd want to bank on it if I change my forename or surname or both.
I vaguely remember HMRC being one, if you do anything online. So like for checking your pay is correct, or any student loan you can update it with your online gov account.
I changed my name in 1997 when TSB wouldnât cash my cheques. There was a mismatch between the name on my birth certificate (used by TSB) and my Equity stage name (used by my employer), meaning I couldnât get tv royalty cheques paid in.
So I changed over fully to my new name.
How did you do it? âIn my dayâ I just rocked up at a solicitorâs office, paid ÂŁ5 and swore a Statutory Declaration. Imagine the cost has gone up since!
Thanks! Applied to change
Ooh, have we seen you in anything?
Nah itâs free using a deed poll signed by two people
Undoubtedly
Iâm a public servant these days, but still take time off to do stuff.
Only place I forgot & had trouble with was when coming to sell my house. The deeds were in my old name & all ID in new name. So needed to jump a hoop or two to prove itâs me.
Youâre Mr Blobby, arenât you?
OMG. Canât unsee this
