Holy cow! That's sounds very serious.

Upon investigation, this paper appear to be neither in Oates profile
http://ideas.repec.org/e/poa3.html
nor in Sarchirico's profile

I don't have evidence yet. For any paper that would establish a
link, your co-authors have to have claimed it. This was part of the
reasons for doing CollEc: get authors to ask their co-authors to
register and maintain their profiles.
> Is there some way to fix it?
Yes, contact your co-authors to ask them to add the paper
to their profiles.
Note that CollEc updates slowly because of the huge amount of
calculations required; but if you get a new connection you should
see your ranking increase over the space of about a month. Yes, it
takes that long.
