And Experian are not the only people doing this so check Equifax as well. I see Callcredit starting to be mentioned as well now.

Experian and the rest get the full roll so it's not a problem.
They do sometimes make mistakes including mixing people with the same first and last names up even if they live in different parts of the country, and mixing family members up especially if they have the same initials which is why you should give your kids different initials to yourself.

Looks like you are a victim of an Experian agency screw up.
Credit agents do make mistakes and clearing them up is a nightmare.
You are going to have to do your own research on this to sort it out. ( Can't remember what you have to do but there are BBC programmes on it.)
In the meantime try to get business account with a bank you already have a personal account with.

What if you need to have your details private (have a stalker, on the run etc).

Originally posted by legal View PostI applied for business bank account. The bank rejected because of something they found on my Experian report. (Bank won’t tell what...)
Hence, I paid Experian fees and viewed my credit report and found out, they don’t have my current address info. It’s still showing my previous address. I moved to my current address 3 years ago!
And because of this, it says I am not registered on electoral roll. (I am on electoral roll on my current address.)
When I called Experian the guy is saying because you haven’t updated you address after moving, we don’t have your current address. He was like only you know that you moved and it’s your responsibility to update details on Experian.
This sounds completely wrong to me. I am not going to update my details every time I move house. (And hence pay for their membership, as only members can update their details.)
Something is wrong here; don’t they check with banks and update address automatically??
Has anyone else faced same issue?
