I had this problem, and just sent back the paper version of the form. Fortunately I hadn't signed up for the "Proof" service, which is meant to stop fraud because it does seem that without that anyone can change the registered address for any company.
The PAYE part of HMRC still have my company name wrong, despite me telling them twice. But the other branches of the government got it right. Clearly there's no kind of integration.

And then think whether you really want someone to be able to unilaterally change your details.

It seems I made an incredibly stupid assumption that when you told the HMRC that your business address had changed it would update the address for all the services your business was registered for with the HMRC. Oh how could I have been so stupid. It seems that the VAT people have their own database and you have to notify them separately.
Oh wait they have an online form to do this that you access on the Government gateway in the same place you do your VAT return so this should be nice and easy. Buy no the idiots now need to send me a activation code BY POST TO MY OLD ADDRESS so I can continue with the process of changing my address. So they are happy for me to pay them thousands of pounds every month using the standard authentication but they can't change my adress!!!!
