Credit report

Sorry for butting me I am usually a lurker more than a poster but i have just recieved my credit report from Annuallcreditreport and it's not as bad as what i thought although it only has one loan on it for a total for £2, 548 which from progrressive financial servies L, who i have never heard of and i have never had a loan for that amount, never, neber , never.
It's say that no payments have been made and there is a default on it from august 2005.
Is there anyway i can go about finding out about it?
Thanks
Patricia

    You could try and contact the company and find out what it's for. Have you had a loan or credit for something else of that amount - they may be a debt recovery agency who bought your debt. If not, contact the court that issued the CCj.
    This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!

    Progressive finance is 'welcome' finance.

    Looks as though someone's taken a loan in your name, need to get that sorted!
  • Thank you all so much, i will get the credit checks from the other companies as well, and thanks for the info about' welcome' will contact them asap and see what is happening.
    Many thanks
