    I am confused about them only being able to issue one default per debt. If you go on a DMP and are late with a payment, can they then issue another defaultfor the late payment?, because Lloyds have done this on a loan we have with them.

    You can only have 1 default per debt.

    This is totally inacurate. Defaults are only allowed by law to be heald for 6 years from the date of default by the credeit reference agency.
    you are also incorrect in that there is no law stating this, it was decided by ICO and is so-called "industry standard" but not a law

    also defaults remain on your file forever - it is the last 6 years window which is "shown to the public" but technically defaults are not removed from your file
