Please Help - Duplicate default with Equifax

I hope someone an help me, I have emailed Equifax but no reply so far. Here is my story.

I defaulted on a HSBC current account and credit card in 2006, these debts were passed to Fredrickson international and repayments were agreed which I have stuck to. This appears on my credit report and is marked as a default. On Friday I received an alert from Equifax as I have signed up for that service to say that I have a new credit agreement, but this agreement is the SAME one from Fredrickson, same default date, amount everything just rather than reference XXXXXXXXXXX2679 it is now reference XXXX6351. But it now looks like I have TWO defaults !.

Just a further update I checked my credit report again and as one is in the name of Fredrickson International and the new agreement in the name of Arrow Global, which I always thought were the same company ??.
