Halifax No Details of Me

I have an entry on my credit file that says I am six months behind payments on a loan from Halifax that was last updated in August 2009.


I have tried to contact Halifax giving them all my previous addresses and they have no record of me on their system.


I have written to the address I have for their credit controller on several occasions with zero response, the address I have is:
PLD UNDERWRITING, FLOOR 4, PHASE 3, 1, LOVELL PARK ROAD, LEEDS, LS1 1NS


This is affecting my credit score and I want this removed does anyone have any phone numbers that I can call to speak to someone at Halifax that can help me resolve this.


Every time I call the contact centre I fail Data Protection as I don't have any account numbers that I can quote.


Experian even got in touch with them for me and they provided a reference number to quote and when I quote this again the contact centre don't know what I am talking about.


Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated as I am starting to tear my hair out!!!

    Contact the Financial Ombudsman.

    You haven't said whether the loan is yours or not. Did you have a loan with Halifax back in 2009?

    I thought Experian had a service for taking up these matters with the lender. Ask them to sort it out.

    Failing that, write (not phone or email) to Halifax and make a formal complaint. If they fail to resolve it then it's off to the Ombudsman as Gaz has said.

    Dispute via the CRA then go to the FOS and ICO if no luck there.
