Credit file...As likely as not, the former tenant is still paying for your Internet connection. Maybe he just forget to cancel his account? Or maybe he asked Virgin to cancel / transfer his account, and they just haven't done it because they're useless? His loss is your gain. Enjoy.
Your landlord needn't worry about his credit record. Credit reference agencies *used* to give information about other people living at the same address, but they're not allowed to do that any more.
