Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
My credit report has entries on relating to my twin brother (same DOB obviously) and we've shared addresses in the past, but i still shouldn't be able to see his info, is it worth putting in an notice of correction? or is there something else i can do?:?
unless you have had joint loans/applications etc I don't think you should have a financial association....and you certainly shouldnt see his. Are they accounts or searches showing?
You could start by e-mailing to advise them and see what their gonna do about it - dispute any of his entries with them and tell them why, they are then supposed to go double check with whatever company did it.
Are your names similiar at all? My mum and I share the exact same name (whole name!) and our dob's read very similar and I've had probs with tehe CRA's/banks/evryone because of it

Dipply75, I've got no loans or anything with my brother (trust me, where he's concerned i wouldn't dare!!) my credit record shows some of his accounts with the ref no's and default/delinquent balances and payment history, it's most unusual, my initial P.N and his initial S.P same DOB, same surname, couple of same addresses.
Think i'm going to have to put a NOC in.
But if there's anythng else, i'm all ears!
Why disassociate when there should be no association
Same with notice of correction
Send the formal complaint & demand that the incorrect entries are removed
If you have any losses because of this (failed to get credit, mobile phone contract declined / deposit required or anything else) then you may be entitled to damages.
He may be your twin, but unless you have joint loans etc then updating your file with his details is libel and contrary to the Data Protection Act.
I mentioned this to him, and he's flabbergasted that he appears on my credit report, i'm sure somewhere along the line i may have been turned down for things too because this, but i will write a strongly worded letter and also mention the massive breach of the DPA.
Thanks for all your commets, i'll keep you updated
