    on the credit report it shows that;

    Natwest Personal Loans - Default / Delinquant Balance - £11,965
    (however there is no 'D' default shown on history)

    Natwest Personal Loans - Default / Delinquant Balance - £1,059
    (however there is no 'D' default shown on history)

    Natwest Card Services - Default / Delinquant Balance - £403
    ('D' on July 2005, however no exact date shown)

    Aktiv Kapital - Dfault / Delinquant Balance - £314
    ('D' on August 2005, however no exact date shown)

    The latter two have been satisfied or settled.

    Thanks,

    Kris

    WRT the latter two, it should show in which month the debt was satisfied. In other words, there'll be an 'S' in June 2005 (or whenever). As for the rest, yes, they are probably affecting your access to credit. They'll drop off six years after the defaults. Not sure how that relates to the first two which don't have a 'D'.
