Capital One question

Options
I sold my house in Dec last year before the rot with the economy firmly set in. I got a settlement figure from cap one and paid it off with the proceeds. Some months later Cap one asked me for another £70 saying the figure quoted was wrong. I disputed that they could do this but they said (as they would) that were justified in doing so. I argued the point till i was blue in the face. It has now affected my credit file saying i have defaulted i had agreed to pay half of what they wanted just so they would go away.
Would a notice of correction on my file help to get rid of the default or is all hope lost?:mad:

    Do you have written confirmation of the terms offered?
    People who don't know their rights, don't actually have those rights.

    Unfortunately not... it was done through my solicitor when the house was sold. I see what youre getting at, I phoned them and got the figure that way what a mug I am.

    could it be trailing interest that was added?

    If it was done via a sol, do they have anything?
