It is saying you defaulted on the mortgage. Not a good thing to have on a search.
What does the search show for payments? Any arrears?I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a mortgage adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

Equifax customer service number.

The End is just the date the mortgage company closed down the account and assigned it to a 3rd party DCA.
Limit £0 Doesn't apply to all types of account; basically credit/overdraft limit
Start £0 The balance at point of opening
Current £+0 Current outstanding balance
Default £88596 The balance on the account on the date they issued a default notice (so not always the amount when the contract was breached, they may have waited and added charges and interest while trying to resolve it amicably)
Start 19/07/2007 Opening date of the account
Default 09/2010 Date default was applied (would be blank if account still open/closed without default)
End 13/09/2010 Closing date of the account on mortgage company's system (same as default date)
insight last updated 13/09/2010 Last date mortgage company sent updated details to credit agency
