Credit Score Correction

Credit File Accuracy – Full Guidance & Legal Rights

Legal Warning – Your Data Rights

Under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, rganisations are legally required to ensure that any information they report to credit reference agencies is accurate, complete and up to date. If they are unable to meet these standards, the data must be corrected or removed. You have the legal right to challenge any incorrect or incomplete information appearing on your credit report.

Your Right to Correction or Removal

If an account is closed, unenforceable or cannot be verified, you may request that the lender or debt purchaser removes the entry entirely. Credit files cannot display detailed explanations, meaning that in many cases deletion is the only way for them to correct the inaccuracy appropriately.

Debt Purchasers Reporting Incorrectly

It is common for debt purchasers to continue reporting defaults even after they have discontinued legal action or confirmed the account is closed or unenforceable. Your first step should be to raise a formal complaint with their Data Protection Officer (DPO). This is often the fastest route to having incorrect data removed.

Consumer Action Steps

If you have written confirmation that a debt is unenforceable, closed or that legal action has been discontinued, you can request that any negative credit markers tied to that debt be removed. If the lender or debt purchaser refuses, you should escalate your complaint to the credit reference agencies and then to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

UK Credit Reference Agencies

If you raise a dispute, each credit reference agency must respond within 28 days.

Important Case Law – Grace v Blackhorse

The Court of Appeal’s decision in Grace v Blackhorse established that a default notice does not contain enough detail to explain whether a debt is enforceable or not. Because credit reports cannot show deeper context, the only accurate correction for an unenforceable debt is deletion of the entry.

If They Still Refuse

If the lender, debt purchaser or CRA refuses to remove incorrect information, you
should escalate the matter to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) using the
official complaint portal: https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/ The ICO has the
authority to order correction or deletion of inaccurate data, conduct investigations, and
impose penalties for breaches of the Data Protection Act.
