Credit report shows delinquency for 44p !

Hi,

Can anyone offer any advice, we currently have a credit card and are now ready to transfer to another one with 0% balance. But to my shock when we applied we got refused, by 2 different banks.

I don't look at my credit report, but signed up because I couldn't understand what was happening. We used to have a one account mortgage, and switched it a couple of years ago. But we did leave the bank account open.

Some money got put into that account 7 or 8 months ago and I withdrew it from a cashpoint, but that put the account 44p overdrawn.

I didn't realise this, and now the account has gone into "delinquency" according to my credit report. I've paid in the money to get it straight, but I'm now really worried that I can;t swap credit cards because of 44p !!

Can I ask them to remove the delinquency from my records , if so, are they likely to ?

Any help would be very greatly appreciated

Duncan

  • Probably not, because they are reporting factual information, you were 44p overdrawn so the information they have supplied to the credit agency are correct and factual
