My Dad got work done at his house where I live 4 years ago.
The electrician didn't do something he asked for so he cut of £500 from a £20,000 bill.
Today I get a update from Experian that I have a CCJ under my name issued yesterday.
Having spoken to the court it turns out that the Electrican issued a CCJ at our old address
where we moved from 4 years back.
I never got any of the letters or did I get any intimation from the court
AND I am not a part of this at all.
I only live at my dad's house and the claim should be between these two.
I have nothing to do with the bills for the building of my dad's house.
My Credit score just dropped from a 5/5 to a 1/5 for something I am not involved in or knew anything about.
Spoke with the court who have suggested I pay £150 and do a application to set aside the judgement.
Also spoke with Experian who say they will put this down as fraud
as it has nothing to do with me but they will need to investigate
and can't guarantee that this will clear my record.
Also the claim is issued under a misspelt surname. Does that make any difference?
What should I do?????
Some guidance would be highly appreciated.
I have worked hard to keep my Credit history good and one wrong swipe has just ruined it.
