My dad’s just check his credit file with Experian & Equifax, and it claims that he’s not on the Electrol since 1991.

He checked with the Council and he is!!! :confused:

What can he do about this? It’s given him a bad credit rating the last 16 Years!!! :eek:

Many Thanks

    Ask the council to send him a letter confirming his Elect rol information, and then send a copy to Experian & Equifax asking them to correct their inaccurate information under the data protection act 1998.
