Sudden appearance of electoral roll historical data that's not me

Bit of an odd one but I'm currently in a DMP and trying to stay on top of all payments/debts and info to start rebuilding credit rating for my distant future self. So I check my credit file fairly regulary as not all creditors report defaults consistently (highly frustrating)
So I check a week or so ago and an alert popped up saying new electoral roll details will be included for 2004 - 2011 for 1. A different person with a similar name and 2. An address I've never lived at.
It's my sister in law - at my in laws family home. We share the same first name but spelt differently and since I married into the family in 2015, the same surname. But different initials and I have no links to their family home! I appeared on the electoral roll for this period elsewhere in my maiden name as I've always been registered somewhere!
How on earth do I get it removed and why has it suddenly popped up?! I don't want my sister in law linked to me as my score is so low so don't want to affect anything to do with her!

Just raise a dispute with each CRA where it appears and it'll be removed.
Don't worry about your pretend low score. It's not relevant to anything. Just manage your credit responsibly.0 -
I would check the Local Authority register too- in case there is a fault on the actual electoral roll.0
