A woman in Berkshire was left with no other option but to change her name by deed poll after years of hassle from bailiffs and debt collecters - care of credit score firms Equifax and Experian.
For two-and-a-half years Susan Brown has been hounded for the debts of another Susan Brown - who's racked up £37,000 worth on loans, credit cards and driving fines.
The confusion arose because the two women not only share a name, but the same date of birth too. Well, they did, now the name bit's been rectified and innocent Susan has incorporated her maiden name into her surname, becoming Susan Griffith-Brown.
