Experian Credit Expert Millennium Bug!

Signed up to check my credit file with Experian and was amazed to find that they seem to have allowed the Millennium bug to creep into their website, only 13 years too late!
On the associated names page it links my grandmother to me as we have a joint account. All fine except that they show her DoB as being 2012 not 1912! The link is from 2011 and she is listed as Mrs so there seems to be some serious mistake in their coding that a linking event can happen before someone is born and that they are suggesting a 1 year old is married!
Has anyone else spotted this on their credit file?

Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.
