I sympathise, sometimes it's really hard to get on. Options are
1) Come clean
2) Check out companies houses for a company director with a similar name and pretend to be them
3) Steal Tom Jones identity
4) Look through old records for someone who died many years ago when you were born. Get a copy of their birth certificate and then go through the process of getting their NI Number & setting up new bank accounts in their name. I recommend that you fake some utility bills for the purpose(very easy, Crystal Reports is very good). Then you can fly through their credit process.
Jobs a good one.
Good luck and let us know how you get on.

Have a job offer in IT working for a foreign bank, its subject to credit check, nothing heavy just no CCJ's will be fine.
I checked my previous bad address and surprisingly discovered there are no CCJ's registered against me despite there being no payments made for 3 years.
But obviously don't want to link the two addresses....
They want 6 years of addresses, any tips on how I could account for my whereabouts 3 years prior to my current address?
Can I make up an address?...use someone elses address?...my surname is Jones!...so very common....if they do a dearch on a false address and find no record of me or any CCJ's do you think it will fly?
I really want this job!
Still, look on the bright side, that makes your address 3 years ago is the least of your problems...
For an honest piece of advice: just own up, right now, to both the agent and the client. Depending on the role, it might not be an issue. If it is, well, hard luck; just move on. But whatever you do, don't keep this façade up with them (unless you fancy being prosecuted...)

The moment you 'pop up on the grid', whether it's applying for a mortgage, going for a PAYE job, or a multitude of triggers... your addresses will be associated, and you'll receive letters, possibly even a call at work.

Speak in confidence with the CCCS, the CAB, the National Insolvency Helpline et al. Your records will resurface, they always do, and when they do you'll be liable for the original amount plus a LOT of charges & interest until the point the debt was sent to a DMU.
You may well benefit from declaring yourself bankrupt before they catch up with you.

There's a reason for these kind of checks. It's to stop people like you, who have shirked their responsibilities (yes, Debts are responsibilities) and committed an act of fraud, which impacts every single person who uses a bank or financial institution. I'm fairly sure if I'd "walked away" from £20k's worth of debt 3 years ago, I'd also be credit free, but I've accepted that I needed the money at the time, and that now I have more money, I have to pay it back - because that's how debts work.
Take it on the chin, and tell them you're a fraudster. Then don't ever try and get a job in a bank again - they have enough problems with corruption, without taking on someone like you.

And I think you are right.

P.s. For those expecting me to appear with my normal rush of eloquent rudeness I can't even be bothered with this one. It is just so far beyond stupid words fail me.
