Thanks Brigadier - I will come back once I have got news. Cheers

Just out of interest - what are the next steps after a SAR? Does that depend on the findings?

Perfect - I will get on it thanks guys. Will keep you updated! Does anyone have the right address for QQ by the way?

Thanks DX - I will look for a template to get that started.

I have no idea to be honest - it doesn't really make sense to me. Looks like I have massively over paid!

Shot of the default from experian.

Thanks for the welcome! Looks like a place to find a lot of insight! The original loan was £200.00 and I was supposed to pay back 375. I am not sure how much I paid back in the end. I got the loan accepted on 28th Aug 2009. Default from MH says 28th/10/2009.

So from what I have been reading - I understand a SAR would be a request of documentation? Would I SAR QQ or Mackenzie Hall as they are the ones who have the default against me at the moment. I have heard bad stuff about Mackenzie Hall... The default date currently says 28/10/2009 on both equifax and experian.

Hi All I am hoping I have posted this in the appropriate place. Currently me and my girlfriend are looking to get a mortgage, unfortunately around 2009 I made a few mistakes with my credit. Since then I have avoided all forms of lending bar the usual things - Phone Contract, small overdraft on my current account. We have managed together to save the 20% deposit required. I have opened up accounts with Equifax, Experian and Noodle. They all seem clear bar for two things. Electoral Roll (Sorting that out) and one default to Mackenzie Hall. I took out a pay day loan with Quick Quid for 200 pounds and paid back 350 pounds at the end of 2009 the next month of the Default arising. I didn't get a notification from Quick Quid of the detail however I did get an email from Mackenzie hall that reads like this: Reference: ***** Owner of Account: Mackenzie Hall Debt Purchase Ltd Original Creditor : Quick Quid Balance: 324.50 FIXED-SUM LOAN AGREEMENT REGULATED BY THE CONSUMER CREDIT ACT 1974 - DEFAULT. Your Loan Agreement with Original Creditor 'Quick Quid' has defaulted. Quick Quid have notified the relevant Credit Reference Agencies and a 'Default Status' has been applied to your Credit Rating. Mackenzie Hall Ltd will now apply for a County Court Judgment on behalf of Mackenzie Hall Debt Purchase Ltd unless the account is paid in full within the next 72 hours. The proceedings will include additional claims for legal costs which will increase the amount you are required to pay. In the event that judgement is obtained against you it will be entered in a public register, the Register of Judgements, Orders and Fines. The details will then be passed to credit reference agencies who will supply them to credit granters and others seeking information on your financial standing. This may make it even more difficult for you to obtain credit. To prevent this happening contact *****, on 01563 556 544. Do I have any power to get this default removed? At the time I was 19 and very naive - looking for any way to prevent my mistakes from paying a large amount of interest or worse not getting a mortgage. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks
