Service tax Invoice should be with proper address of Assessee & his name.
If it is not properly mentioned in Invoice, you can correct by the service provider, and take credit.

This may be challenged by department. If you have evidence to prove that it is wrongly addressed , may be allowed at appellate levels.

Credit will not be allowed. I also agree with CA Unnikrishnan, Department would difinitely challange it as ineligible document. You will have to give evidence to prove that the invoice was wrongly addressed.

You can refer to Rule 4A of Service tax Rules, 1994 as amended containing provisions relating to issue of invoices and its contents. Further, you may also refer to Rule 9 (f) of CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004 as amented that provides the details of documents on the basis of which credit can be availed. Both shoul be read together in your case.
