Credit Rating Help

Options
Hello,

I am getting confused with when debt gets 'wiped' off your credit rating.

Please can someone let me know when the below will vanish and no longer exist on my credit rating?

Thanks in advance. :j

1. ‘Satisfied’ - 01/11/2010</SPAN>
2. ‘Satisfied’ - 31/07/2010
3. ‘Settled’ 28/08/2010
4. ‘Settled’ 21/12/2005
5. ‘Settled’ 21/12/2005
6. ‘Settled’ 11/12/2006
7. ‘Settled’ 26/06/2007
8. ‘Settled’ - 05/09/2007</SPAN>
9 years and counting

    I believe its 6 years these stay on your file, but I'm sure if I am wrong, someone will post!
  • They will drop off six years from the default date paid or not.

    Thanks all. Will be interesting to see if my credit rating improves just a tad when the 2 drop off in December! :-)

    When 2 of my defaults dropped off recently it didn't improve my credit rating. There are still 3 shown on my file, due to come off next October, all settled.

    Is it only 1 and 2 that had defaults? If so then its unlikely that the others dropping off will make much difference to your ability to get credit.

    If they have defaults they are cleared 6years after the default (so 1 & 2 won't be 6yrs from the satisfied date but from the original default). For the ones with no default its 6years from the date they were settled.
