Caller ID Comes as the wrong name

[SuffyaanAli]

When i ring someone who is not on my contacts list (or they have not added me). my number does not come up but instead a business name comes up. I have tried this on multiple devices and this happens. It is really annoying as I need to ring people as it is part of my job, but instead a weird business name pops up. please could you help me.

I can provide screenshots if needed.

I kinda expect that your number was used in the past for a business. I have no idea what the source is of this information. But perhaps a moderator knows that

There you can submit a request to be "forgotten"

Cheers, SjorsK! 

@SuffyaanAli: Which other devices does it happen on? And on your S10, which option do you have it set as in Phone > Menu (3 dots) > Settings > More settings > Show My Caller ID?

[SuffyaanAli]

It happens on newer devices (S7 to latest) and the setting i have selected are shown below.

@SuffyaanAli : Cheers! Clicking into 'Show my caller ID', are you able to select 'Show number' (rather than 'Network Default')? If so, does this make a difference to how it shows up when you call someone?

I think it has not been used for business in the past. This happens to me with essentially all of the numbers that are not in my contact list. 

[Shelby2]

Those are the settings I have and in no way does it solve the problem for me.

I have done this a number of times, for individuals and whole business (hundreds of numbers).

The company used for phone number lookup/name presentation is called HiYa.  If you go to this site and log a ticket they respond quickly and it usually take 4-5 days for the changes to filter through the system.  It works well.  I am surprised nobody else knows about it.
