advice re lowell debt collector

sorry if in the wrong forum folks

in september this year got a letter from lowell debt collectors regarding a debt owed to 3g from dec 2004, I had no idea I owed anything to them and cannnot recall any letters from 3g asking me about payment, it was only for about £30, i paid them as soon as i got the letter but now they have put a default on my credit report :eek:

will this defaulty have adverse effect on my ability to get credit and if so how do I go about asking them to remove it :confused:

many thanks for any responses

Jules

    Hi jules42, welcome to MSE :hello:

    I've moved your thread over to the 'Debt Free Wannabe' Board for a better response :)

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].
