  • Contact the courts and tell them it’s not yours.

    Do you share the same forenames?

    The courts report to the trust register, contact the CRA especially if its only one CRA they have attached it to the wrong person
  • Okay thankyou!
  • Is there anyway I could get compensation because it's lowered my credit score and I'm saving for a house and I won't get a mortgage now ?

    So that's your real question - "How much can I make out of this"?

    It's a mistake, once it's corrected why won't you get a mortgage?

    Typical moneygrabbing "compo" post on MSE nowadays.
  • I was only wondering calm down sweetheart 😂😂hahaha
  • No. Your credit score is a fictional number that isn't used in assessing you for credit. It would be like getting compensation for a lack of unicorns.

    Once the error is corrected, your credit file will be an accurate reflection.
