how long should i wait

until i chase this up?

i have a default which has I have wangled with the company, and have a letter from them saying it there in error and they will remove it. This was dated 20/09 and the default is still on my report.

How long should i leave it before i check again? any advice appreciated thanks

Hi, I know some companies often only update once a month so I'd leave it a month and then check again.

will this make a difference

Is it still a "live" account that you're paying anything to?

If not, it could be that they only update "stagnant" (which defaulted accounts often are) accounts every 3 or 6 months if there's no activity on them.

it was a cc that was settled at the beginning of 2010 with a f&f, does this make any difference

It may do as it'll be "stagnant" so may get updated less often.

However, if there is a change to be made, I would expect it to be done on their next update (so would leave for a month and check).
