Don't know who the company is on my credit file

Hi,
I have a company called Hoist on my credit file but I don't know who they are it says the account was open in 2006 and last active in 2014 I remember having a few debt companies taking on different debts so I would of thought I'd have paid it off by now but I've never heard of the company. Can I write off to Experian and find out?

http://hoistfinance.co.uk/Hoist Finance UK is acknowledged as a true leader and innovator within the UK credit industry.
Since acquiring our first portfolio in 2011, Hoist Finance has expanded its operations with the acquisition of Robinson Way in 2012, the Lewis Group in 2013 and Compello Group in 2015 to further extend its service platform. In 2014 Robinson Way was named Debt Collection Agency of the Year, an accolade that reflects positively on our wider business, our culture and our people.0 -
