Wrong/Fraudulent info on file?

I checked my file today using noddle and all looked good except there is an open file with a credit co which has been defaulting for 3 years!

The transaction appears to have been made after I split from my ex in Oct 2013. The account is registered in my name but at his address. The worst part is its only for £22 but as it has three years of defaults on it it has put my credit score in the gutter. All my other accounts are up to date with no defaults.

I've raised a dispute but is there anything else I can do? I'm really worried this is going to have a huge impact in the future if I want to get a loan or lease a car.

Thanks
