Hi, this is first time post,
im hoping i am posting in the correct topic,
I recently applied for a credit card and was declined so looked up my credit history
and discovered that nationwide had put a default onto a flexi account i had.
I had gone £20..infact i dont even think it was that much over drawn, and hadnt realised as i never used the account.
i then discovered a couple of months later when i came back from university that i had been charged a ridiculous amount in overdraft fees,
I called and paid the debt off and the member of staff assured me it the to the correct amount i had paid.
the next month i get a letter charging me another overdraft fee as they hadnt taken into account
when i paid off the debt that it wouldnt cover some kind of cost,
im not exactly sure of what it was as this was over a year ago i dealt with the issue.
So i had therefore been charged another months fees.
I phoned up to get this sorted out and this time paid off the whole amount ensuring that i didnt have anything on the account.
however have now discovered they have put me into default of £21,
i have never recieved any correspondance with nation wide since my statement came in to show i had a balance of 0,
and its the only thing thats stopping me applying for credit cards etc...
where do I stand?
