Someone else's debts appear on my credit report

Hi

I checked my credit report for the first time using Equifax, and noticed that someone else's debts appear on my report. I can understand why, as this person is my twin. As well as sharing the same birthday, we share the same initials, and address. How do I go about getting their details removed from my credit file?

Sorry if a similar thread has been posted before.

    There was a program about a similar situation to yours recently. It involved triplets if I remember correctly. Have a search on IPlayer or 4OD and you might find something. If I can find which one it was I'll post again.
    Paid off the last of my unsecured debts in 2016. Then saved up and bought a property. Current aim is to pay off my mortgage as early as possible. Currently over paying every month. Mortgage due to be paid off in 2036 hoping to get it paid off much earlier. Set up my own bespoke spreadsheet to manage my money.
