advice needed please

Hi I was wondering if anybody could give me advice re. a financial associate. I got my credit report and it says that I am financially linked to my mum who lives at the same address.

I found this out by getting a credit report from equifax. My credit report was checked because, my mum had applied for a catalogue in her own name.

As far as I know are finances have always been separate. It relates to norweb cpu link dated 1995.

Excuse my lack of knowledge but I dont understand why. We have always had separate financial dealings.

Thanks in advance

    My boyfriend has been financially linked to his ex because they had a mortagage together even though they haven't been together for over 3 years. He just called up the company they send some forms to sign and agree that your not linked. Should be pretty simple
