Moving / Changing address for Credit Cards

[M_Smart007]

(MOD's please move where it is appropriate)

Ok, I feel kinda dumb asking this

Sold My house and moving, (been quite a few years since I have done this)

What would be the best suggestion on changing addresses with

lenders / Credit Report bureau's / US Postal Service.

This is a fairly tedious process, as I have quite a few Personal accounts.

(Business stuff will not have to be addressed, as all mail goes to a Corporate physical address)

In which order would you suggest doing this?

lenders / Credit Report bureaus / US Postal Service.

Thanks

You do not need to do anything with CRA, file is updated when lenders report for the first time with your new address. 

Depending on timing, you'd probably want to make sure your mail is forwarded in timely fashion, so postal services first.

Once you're in your new home, your ID reflects address change, you notify lenders by updating contact/demo info.

As far as mods moving this, I'm about to take a pay cut if this belongs in GC

@Remedios, Thank you!

Post office is the most important. That way if you miss anything, your mail will still get forwarded. Unless you have a direct account with the credit bureaus, I wouldn't worry about them at all. They'll pick it up when your financial institutions report.

Pesonally my first step would be to change with the Post Office as it will get the ball rolling and forward everything to the new adress, thus giving you some time to go in and make the changes at each FI. It in thoery should prevent stragglers from still arriving at the old address. 

Just be careful of ordering online if the CC you use doesn't have the correct address.

LOL @ @FinStar ! When I got my house last year I didnt do a thing except the USPS address change and card companies. I rented across the street so I went from 11 renting to 12 *******  ******owning. My last couple apps always asked have you lived at your current address more than 2 years. Congrats @M_Smart007 on the new place.

Congrats on the new place 007! Notify USPS, then update with lenders. Everything else will update from those two sources.

Are you still in the same area near the bay?
