You would dispute any accounts that are his as not yours and indicate that they belong to your father.

Experian did sometihing similiar with me and my daughter. I was shown as an "also known as" on her credit report and her name was shown as an "also known as" on my report. I called and they straightened it out. However, I am thinking a letter might be in order for your situation. I am sure someone in these forums has had that happen.

Good luck and don't give up. Sometimes it takes many letters and/or calls to straighten thiings out.
