Dispute it with clearscore, they will look into it for you.

 I had this. I received an email from them saying my account will appear on my bank account as another name and it was nothing to worry about. Then got an alert from clearscore.
 I had a jd Williams account about 10 years ago so contacted them raising a complaint for keeping hold of my data and adding information to my credit file. They apologised and said they had received numerous complaints and that they had moved to new accounting system that pulled old accounts. They removed the information from my credit file.

Did you manage to get this removed from your credit file?  I have just got the same thing - JD WIlliams is showing on my clearscore credit file despite the fact that I have never signed up for credit with them.  I do buy from Simply Be, but I always pay via a debit card/PayPal. I am annoyed.

Simply Be and J D Williams are part of the same retail group. If you think they've done something wrong, then you should write to them. If they agree with you, they'll get it removed from your credit report. But it doesn't matter how you pay, the JD Williams/Simply Be account will show on all your credit reports.
