Default Two different postcodes for my address

I seem to have two different postcodes under my address which is causing me problems.

I want Sky Broadband which I can't have at the moment as they are saying BT has me under a different postcode to them. I've asked numerous times for BT to change it but when sky contacts them they come back saying its still wrong

I've never really paid attention before but there are conflicts with my postcode with other companies too, such as my electricity supplier.

I only know one postcode which I always give out.

How do I find out which is my correct postcode

I've had this problem, it's a friggin nightmare.
Best thing is to see what the Royal Mail have as your official postcode I think (not that I have much faith in them) and then give that to all the companies that you use. If some of them say that they can't change it then I suppose you could invoke the data protection act to a degree as the information they would hold would be incorrect, not sure on that one though.
I'm sure there's more that can be done but I never had an end to the issues with my postcode at the time. I was renting though so it wasn't the end of the world. I can imagine it would be a pain for a place you have bought though.
Good luck!

Pop your address in here and see what it comes back with

http://postcode.postoffice.co.uk/por...catId=20700386

The PO changed my post code a few years back, still get the odd bit of mail delivered on the old one though!

Are you on the corner of two roads, or did your house used to have two entrances?
