Debt Collector Court Claim Stayed

Hi guys,

Not sure if this is the right forum but I'll ask anyway :) Thanks in advance for reading this.

Sigma red and their pals HL Solicitors put a money claim through Northampton court (where else?!) on May 2012. Due to the fact the money they are collecting refers to

a) A debt over 6 years old (although they took the debt in 2011)
b) It is less than £500
c) The credit card company (HSBC) was in breach of credit agreement (got ripped of by internet merchant)

once I put my defence in, they decided to stop perusing it. However they have listed a default on my credit history using a bogus amount and default date.
What can I do?
Are they able to post the default even though there is an ongoing claim that they decided to stay or drop?
Thanks for your help

    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.
