old bank account

[freddyboy2404]

hi, can someone point me in the right direction?

a few years ago, I went overdrawn with my old nationwide account over a disputed overdraft. long story short, I owed £400 in carges and debt, which I settled via a bailiff. however, checking my Experian credit report, I have a default notice on my record, which I understand will remain for 6 years? does the 6 years start from when the default was recorded?, also, my main problem is as I already mentioned, the debt is settled, my report shows a zero balance but they are showing missed payments every month since the entry was made, this obviousely is having a seriouse effect on my credit rating, all advice greatly welcomed!

Hi and welcome to CAG

 

The default will fall off 6 years after the date it states on your credit file. I don't understand how they can be making missing payment markers when the debt is settled. Something to query. Not that it matters that much. It is the default that does the damage.

Perhaps you could contact them directly and ask why the missing payments have been added to your old account? Is it a bookkeeping error or something more? You might even be successful in having them remove the judgment altogether for you since you have paid and it has been a while.
