Experian wil not tell me who has put a suspected fake claim on my business

Hi All,

I started to lose credit for various things out of the blue, and was advised by British gas that my business was refused credit due to an experian report. After jumping through hoops to sign up ( it takes days and days for a business ) they tell me it is a utility company but they will not tell me which one.

I have rung all utility companies that the company uses, and they all say its ont them and i hav eno account issues, and the bill on the experian report says i paid it last month (deffo didnt as i know what goe sin and out of my bus. account)

How and can i force Experian to give me the name of the company that is making the claim?

If this does not get resloved in the next few days i will get very difficult for my business.

thanks for any advice in adncace :)

    If you can see a false claim on your credit report you should be able to just write a letter and get it removed. It may just be an error.
