Remove a wrong address on credit report

Hi All, first time post!

I am looking for help regarding an address on my credit report from Experian which states that i have lived at an address (which was infact the flat below) and own approx £180,000 on a mortgage which i dont and worry that it's affecting any credit decision.

I am not sure who to contact or the best way to get this entry removed from my file

Any ideas?

Thanks All

    If you're on speaking terms with your neighbours they may want to do something too.

    Have you done a Royal Mail postcode search to make sure the flat numbers (or block) are correct? Sometimes flat numbers are wrong and nobody bothers to tell the RM. I had a problem in my first flat and even though I spoke with the RM dept it still took 3 months and 2 letters.

    Do an address lookup and postcode lookup:
