Incorrect Credit History - HELP

I had a conversation with my bank over some overdraft charges and requested an overdraft which isn't unreasonable as I have a regular income. They responded by saying they couldn't do this due to my credit rating, they advised me to get a credit report (experion were recommended).

My report showed 2 defaulted accounts both of which were not mine, the date of birth on both were wrong and I have never traded with these companies before, however the postal address was correct.

When I asked Experion how to deal with this I was told to wrte to them to confirm the debt is mine. I am reluctant to do this incase of bailffs for debt I do not own.

Does anyone have any idea how I can deal wih this and to get my credit rating back to normal?
