Who do I go to?

Hi All,

Don't know if I've put this in the correct part but here goes. I have a debt with an energy company that I am disputing as they have added bits on here and there and I don't know what they are charging for so I've asked for more details. I got a letter from 1st Credit Ltd (I think, it's in the bin now) saying theyve passed the debt onto them. Anyway, I emailed them to tell them my position and to refer the debt back to the energy company. I have since received an email stating that the reference number I gave was in someone elses name and they named them!
Surely, if this is correct (I haven't got the reference number any more), they are in breach of the Data Protection Act?
Who do I report them to?
Many Thanks in advance
