Strange associate info on Experian credit report

walesrob

Hi guys, I'm probably worrying about nothing, but on my Experian credit report, there's an entry in the financial associates section for myself! Heres the copy from the record itself, I've starred out my personal information, but I've bolded where the error seems to be, otherwise the rest of the information is correct:

MR FIRSTNAME MIDDLEINITIAL SURNAME, *****, ********, *****, ****, ***** Date of Birth: **/**/**
Type of Association: FINANCIAL Associated with: Confirmed by:
CONNECTION
MR FIRSNAME SURNAME
Date of Birth: **/**/**
EGG BANKING PLC
Confirmation Date: 21/11/09

As you can see its just the inclusion of the middle name initial thats the problem here, creating a whole new financial associate.
Is there any point in asking Experian to remove this or is it quite harmless? The account with Egg is closed and I have no dealings with them. I was thinking maybe this entry should have been in the 'Linked Addresses' section showing a previous address?

Ok, so no replies, no worries, I have emailed Experian CS and will let the forum know the outcome.

It's fine, nothing to worry about. It's an alias rather than an associate, just to say you can be known as Mr A J C as well as Mr A C.

Which I suppose is true to a certain extent.

Shouldn't affect your creditworthiness at all.
