National database of Houses and their Meters

Is there anyway that I can find out what information this database, that all the suppliers refer to, has on it for my house?
According to the suppliers that I transfer to my information is wrong. They say that they will correct it but never do. I know this because I have the same problem the next time that I switch (I'm a serial switcher).
I would also like to know how I can get this data put right.

Many thanks in advance.

    Not likely and if there was it would not be updated by each Company either as they simply could not be bothered to look at additional work when they simply gain information from a person upon contacting them.

    I signed up with GB Energy by just giving my address and within 24 hours they had responded with my Electricity Meter ref code which they asked me to check. So I suspect that there is a database.

    I'm a serial swapper and have never ever given my MPAN number and we even had our meter changed from E7 PAYGO to E7 credit and then to single tariff without any problems and I've swapped suppliers since to EoN, Scottish Power, First Utility and now GB Energy again, glitch free.
    Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large numbers

    The database is known as ECOES (Electricity Central Online Enquiry Service), formally known as MPAS (Meter Point Administration Service).

    The data held is: your supply address, metering set up (Meter type/SSC/TPR etc.), current supplier registration details, historical meter readings.

    You need to speak to your local MPAS distributor. Phone numbers can be found here https://www.ukpower.co.uk/mpas

    You are a LUCKY man. I wish that I could say the same instead of the painful, repetitive and time consuming process that I have to go through each time that I switch. I'm just in the process of my FOURTH application to get switched to ScottishPower.
