Buying ex husband out

Hiya, I split from my husband in January and now have enough money to buy him out and take his name off the mortgage. However I have a default on a Barclays account 4 years ago which has been settled but remains on my credit report will this effect my ability to take him off the mortgage. I have no other debts and my mortgage is the only commitment I have (no other loans etc).
Any advice would be great thanks.

It will be an issue until it is 6 years old and will fall off.
That said, there are solutions but will depend upon your loan to value, income and what else is on your credit reports..I am a Mortgage Broker

Apart from default my credit rating is fine. My income is £33,000 and the LTV is between 60-65%. Any solutions or advise you can give me would be gratefully received. The bank which has the mortgage is the same one since I bought first house 6 years ago and I have moved and got extra borrowing since the dafault occured. The default doesn't belong to the same bank as mortgage.0
