    Hi have trawled the internet for info on defaults from MBNA from what I can gather most of them are not valid due to either timescale wording or they send more than one is this correct Im just confused

    Sending you a default is often a creditors way of processing you through to the next level in their systems. If I remember with MBNA first of all they rang constantly, wrote me letters continued to apply interest and were a general pain. They sent me a default and suddenly accepted my payments, not applying interest. If you are on a DMP you will get defaults and they will register with credit reference agencies, I am not sure you can do much about it.
