Hi,
Are defaults (and late payments) on a credit file removed 6 years from when the default (or late payment) occured or are they only removed 6 years after the debt has been settled/satisfied?
For example below is a debt I am going to pay off... but if I pay it off tommorrow will the default be removed 6 years from tomorrow or will it be removed 6 years from Sept 2006?
Terms: 0 @ £ 0 (Monthly)
Status: Defaulted
Current Balance: £ 327
Start Balance: £ 0
Credit Limit: £ 0
Default / Delinquent Balance: £ 327
Start Date: 25/08/2005
Date Updated: 16/11/2010
Date Last Delinquent: 09/06
Date Satisfied: blank
Default date: 09/06
Thanks
