Hi there,

If you notice incorrect entries in credit records at Swiss credit bureaus, just send a copy of the receipts or correspondence which serves as proof that the entry is incorrect to the credit bureau in question. These should be accompanied by a letter of complaint detailing the circumstances. The credit bureau will review the case and remove the incorrect entry.

Best regards from Moneyguru

Most likely, you need to update your address at CRIF or Intrum. If your address cannot be confirmed, they will give the merchant or credit card company a negative response, even if there is no negative data. That is because of the risk that you have left the country, etc. Check for change of address forms on the credit bureaus websites, or try sending them an email with your current address.
