    Seems hopeless. There’s clearly nothing the OP can do to fix the errors. Bloody government eh?

    I'm probably one of the culprets that you describe!

    I changed a house name 20+ years ago.
    • Council tax, planning consents etc, in new name
    • LR database shows old name
    • RM PAF has two entries - one for old name and one for new

    (It confuses TV licensing who probably use PAF. They don't believe that 2 PAF entries relate to one house, and keep sending inspectors looking for a non-existent house.)

    Me too.

    I did away with our house's name a dozen years ago, when we moved in, and just use the street number. It caused all the above difficulties, although TV licencing took my word for it on the phone.
