First, check your credit files: https://www.moneyadviceservice.org.uk/en/articles/how-to-check-your-credit-report
There are a number of companies you can try: Starling Bank, Monzo, and as a last resort Pockit0 -
There must be something else as I've opened up bank accounts and got CCs with a CCJ.
Check all credit reports (credit karma, clear score and MSE credit club) to make sure it's fallen off.
Also have a look to see if it shows you on the electoral roll at your correct property.
