Hi, banderas.
Thank you for your reply.
The following information is from OLAD entry for "used":
The following negative and question patterns are old-fashioned or very formal : I usedn't to like her. Used you to go there? There used to be a cinema here, use(d)n't there? Most people now use patterns with did, especially when speaking or writing informally : I didn't use to like her. Did you use to go there? There used to be a cinema here, didn't there?
