Wrongful CCJ record from credit club

EDITED COS I HAVE CALMED DOWN A BIT
Ok so I decided to check my credit report (from the free credit club).
It said I had a poor rating beause I have a CCJ out against me (or bankrupt which I am not nor ever have been).
I have an average amount of debt but have never missed a payment in my life and always make way over the minimum payments.
Absolutely mortified that I have a CCJ I am unaware of; I pay through the government suggested website to have my records pulled (£10 fee) to see that I don't have any CCJs registered against me at all.
Why is there a CCJ on my credit report but not on official documents?
How can I even begin to investigate this?

i would sign up to noddle (callcredit or TransUnion) and clearscore (equifax), which are also both free.
have a look to see if they all show the same. check your closed accounts to see if any defaults registered with any of your accounts.
if you still dont think it is against you in any way shape or form, query it with the CRAs, would need to be all three of them.0 -

You'll need to query it with them. It could be mistaken identity.
It was my credit report which showed the CCJ but the report from Trust online says nothing.

I'm sorry I am so new to this I really don't know.
i did a credit check on MSE's free credit check service several hours ago.
Score came back poor
With the smileys at the bottom it gave a list. Most were green and happy cos I am on top of my debts but there was a red sad face saying I have a CCJ or am bankrupt which is negatively affecting my score.
So I paid the government people to pull my records of CCJs so I could see what it was.
It was (as in the above picture) empty0 -
It's starting to sound as if there isn't a CCJ on your files. You would see it.
It sounds like an error in the commentary. The scores and comments are generally nonsense. Only look at the facts of the accounts on your file.0 -
click on the tab at the top of the page that says credit report, then on the left that states credit accounts. that will give you a list of all your credit accounts - at the top it will show open closed and defaulted account tabs...
check each open and closed and defaulted accounts tabs to see history of your accounts.
dont look too much or worry about the dashboard page, score etc irrelevant0 -
