You should not assume that these assumptions are indeed assumptions. For example, banks want you to have a physical address, so they can track you down for debt.

UK readers... Please remember that students are 1 of the only groups to officially have 2 permanent addresses. Furthermore, it's illegal to collect unnecessary information.

A rental address with 1 month remaining on the lease is usually accepted as a permanent physical address. How does this allow debtors to track down debts?

In the UK, what would an official permanent address be? Electoral registration?

[alexchamberlain]

Yeah, i think so.
