What is an Alias entry?
-
An alias on your credit report is an entry that shows you have used, or do use another name.
The most common alias entry connects a woman’s married name to her maiden name.
You may not have been known by a name listed as an alias for many years, but it can still show on your credit report.
These entries are created by lenders or the credit reference agencies when you tell them of other names you have used.
An alias entry does not directly affect your credit score. It is there so that lenders will see any information at your addresses that is recorded in your current name and any alias.
