2 year old default just appeared!

Help.

On my Experian file a default has just appeared from no where, it has never been showing on Experian before and has just appeared. Will lenders who gave me an AIP reject me now it has appeared or will they have seen it before. How on earth can these just show up? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Is it correct? Did you default on an account 2 years ago?

    Have you actually defaulted? Were you sent the correct notices? And if so, when?

    For the best help on this question, I suggest you go to the Debt Free Wannabes http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/forumdisplay.php?f=76 [if you do, come back and edit your opening post to say that you have reposted].

    Debt Free Wannabes know the ins and outs of defaults and whether it has been correctly applied - this forum has the best expertise on getting mortgages with adverse credit records - if you see the distinction.

    I spoke to them and they admitted that the default should not have been placed on my file as the balance should have been transferred to my new address when I moved. BUT it is going to take until the next update. Turns out that VM have just started reporting the Experian as of tomorrow (although it appears today!) I hope this doesn't stop my mortgage going through. I have an email from VM confirming that it is there mistake and will be removed, but it is still on the file.

    Push for compensation and a quicker removal. They can remove it quicker according to some reports on this forum and others.
