having a fraud issue! (i think?) PLease read

Options
I'll keep it brief and in key points. it might get confusing as im terrible at explaining things

went to buy car on finance.

all the creditors didnt say no but said they needed more info.

two rang me asking for my current and last address.

garage got back to me to say there is a problem but santander will give me the loan on a high rate. because im high risk (im not)

the other garage i was looking at cars at, called and said they issue is with my address and they will get back to me.

they called back and told me that the creditor says im using the incorrect address, they will happy give me the loan if i give the address i have recently been applying for credit from. which to me sounds like fraud, as i havent been applying for credit

i just joined clearscore but doesnt show me anything but the application from the garages



should i get a more detailed report from experian or equifax?

    The point is to stop a stranger getting access to your report maybe?

    If i could just signup online and answer a few basic questions about family and friends and get their credit report i think there will be some unhappy people around.

    BE CAREFUL!
    Don't use Experian (CreditExpert).... try another report company. I was the victim of a fraud generated BY CreditExpert (Experian)...possibly an employee there. All my details were given out/used and I only found out when I got a bill from them.
    Use someone else...some offer a free or, through TopCashBack, almost free.
    Good Luck!
