Equifax updating info

Hi everyone,
Just checked my statutory report with Equifax and there's an old account on there showing the following info:

Start Date 27/12/2006 Date Updated 03/09/2008
Date Satisfied 14/08/2008

It didn't go into default, so no default date, but I was wondering whether it would come off 6 years from Date Satisfied (a week ago) or 6 years from Date Updated?

If it's Date Satisfied, any idea how long before it will drop off?

Many thanks!

    As there is no default it is 6 years from the satisfied date.

    Equifax are a bit slow in taking them off though compared to the other agencies, but it should be gone within the next week or 2. If it doesn't then complain.
