notification of default

Hello,
I had a default issued about 6years ago when I first got into financial difficulty and ended up on a dmp. My question is, if a further default has been applied, would the company have to notify me of this?

thanks, kezz

  • No fresh default is allowed to be applied, but DCAs do this.

    What's the default date, has it changed?

  • ah ok, thanks. I am unsure what is on my credit file as I can't download it on noddle as it's too big apparently so would need a paper copy.Can't think why it would be so big though. As far as I am aware, the default from alliance and leicester should nearly be 'spent' by now.

    Bit worried about obtaining a paper copy of credit file as someone previously said I can be traced..I've paid my debts but makes me paranoid!
  • You should be a able to view noddle one online, no need to download.

    Could alo check equifax for £2. Can be viewed online.

    I would keep the proof of settled debts as not unheard of for some idiot to have sold the same debt twice.

  • Just tried to get one through call credit and it asked me to check my details and if they are all correct I need to download a printable form and apply by post.what a joke!
  • If you now live somewhere that doesn't match the address of the accounts they hold then that might be the issue.

    Have you got accounts on there at your current address?

  • I have accessed it via equifax...only one thing on there unsettled,which I know about.waste of time really,told me what I already know lol

    If it confirms tthat you don't need to be worried about something else then it's not a waste of time.
    loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.
  • Sounds like its good news?

    You have a specific issue you are trying to resolve? Maybe someone can help with that if so.
