Credit file - How to rectify 3 x duplicated information for each creditor?

Hi People!

I received my credit reference file and it does not show one of my bills I haven't paid anything towards yet, even though the letter from the creditor said it was applying for a ccj several months ago. I came across the bill last week when I was having a clear out.

Do I put this on my SOA and state that I am not paying anything towards it, or leave it off? If I left it off, would the creditor chase the payment sometime in the future after I file for bankruptcy - can they do that or would it automatically go through with all the others on the petition forms?

Also, my credit reference file shows that some old cards I had which where ccj-ed, have been duplicated on my file. Once has a ccj, another when the company sold the debt (under a different name), and another time when Santander took over GE Money. So for each of them it looks like I own 3 separate debts for each of them, but for different amounts.

Should I ask the credit reference agency to investigate so that only one company appears for each card rather than, 3 companies for each card or leave it and it will sort it self out when I become bankrupt? It just looks like I had all these extra cards and debt that I don't have. CCJ, debt collection agency & Santander. I've been making token payments to the debt collection agencies so why Santander has appeared on my file, I don't no. I was told that I should at least have had 'satistied' against one of them when the debts were moved, (can't remember which one)


Cheers for replies.
