If your girlfriend defaulted then this can be reported to the credit reference agencies.
If your girlfriend doesn't recognise the accounts, e.g. she has never had an account with British Gas, then she can query whether the defaults are correct.
Did your girlfriend default? If so then it will be reported on her credit file.0
