    Evening all. I just got my free trial thing with equfax today and there are 3 defaults listed, 1 was defalted 14 may 2003 and the other 2 on oct 2003. should the may 1 not have been removed or does it take a few days for equafx to remove it? also the other 2 are the same 1 but for slightly different amounts which i thought was strange is there any way i can get 1 of them removed?

    cheers

    Raise a dispute online. You will probably find that it will be removed by Monday anyway.

    If you're saying you have 3 defaults for the same debt then get in touch with equifax asap and tell them to remove immediately and remind them of their obligations to process factual accurate data - how can 3 defaults for one debt be in compliance? It isn't and they will remove them all if you bring to their attention.... if they don't then you go direct to the company that added them and demand removal prior to enforcement order and give them 14 days.

    To clarify you can only have one debt per default and vice versa so one default per lifecycle of debt.

    :rotfl: I figured as much, but i can't possibly imagine where he might get that idea from :think: :p

    Thanks for the compliment, I am a nice young man (39, young?) lol :rotfl:

    Hey, 39 is the new black...or something :D.

    I should have spent my time listing items on ebay and amazon but i'm here rabbiting with you lot. Oh, my giddy-aunt :rolleyes:.


    hehe - you know me so well LOL...... i'm a bit of a stoner - that sounds bad but what I mean is i'm not like a geek and all giggly, still professional, but just laid back!

    haha - hope that makes sense.....:rotfl:

    By the way, don't hassle them too much cos they will fall off 6yrs from default date but sometimes they fall off 6yrs plus 1mth from default date. If you come across hurdles when you contact CRA then just wait, only a few months to go...

    Its only 2 that are for the same debt, aktiv kapital have put it on wit[STRIKE]h 2 differen amounts which is what i thought was strange. I have emailed equifax asking them to remove the default which finished the other day and to remove 1 of the other defaults as they are blatently from the same debt.

    Thankd for all the help appreciate it!
