Using the Data Protection Act. (DPA)
Under the DPA anyone who holds data on a person is under obligation to ensure it is acurate. (Its the 4th principle)
My first step would be to use the DPA to see what information they have. You need to do a Data Subject Access Request. They will and are allowed to charge an admin fee - usually around the £10 mark.
Once you have this, then you can see what information they have. If it is as you say inaccurate, then you are entitled to, as they are obliged to, correct it.
I would expect as soon as you start going down the DPA route the company normal pulls their finger out quickly.
If they fail to you can take the issue to the courts.

You have to get the insurance company to remove it. Good Luck I fought with Allstate insurance they have me down as running myself over with my van. Then they paid a claim on a vehicle that I never hit. I called them told them to take it off cuz' I never hit this car and there was no police report on it an they wouldn't had to ride it out for three years with it on my record

Call the insurance company's Underwriting Department and explain the situation. Find out who was the adjuster who decided it was an "At Fault" accident and have that adjuster also involved.

Bergerferg is spot on ! using the DPA is the most effective way of resolving your problem, provided you can prove the information held is inaccurate of course

Contact the insurance company. Be prepared to provide proof of whatever you are claiming.
