Decree Help

Guys recently i received a letter saying i now has a decree due to not paying a debt which i knew nothing about.

I lost my job recently and the type of work i do need to run a credit check, can anyone explain what a decree is and will it show up to companies i am applying to.?

Thanks

Tam

    Have you got the right word?
    Was it not "default"?
    Please give the full text of the letter to see if anyone can help.

  • Contact the company and find out what its for.
    A few friends of mine have been contacted by companies and when they have pressed for further info they have found out its not even a debt in their name, just a similar one.
    Or one was even trying to scam!
