Wrong default date on file

Options
I had an overdraft problem back in 2009.
The co-op bank sent me a default notice in 2009 but when I checked my credit file recently the default as a date of 2011 entered.
Obviously this extra 2 years will greatly impact my credit worthyness in the future.
As I still have the old default, will this prove the real date should be 2009?

  • It is possible/probable that the bad debt was sold on and a fresh default processed - this is a common problem.

    write to the current owner (who reported the later default) and complain. Tell them to correct it.

    If they do not or ignore you, go to FOS.
