    First of all, ignore the score. It's meaningless. UK lenders look at your overall credit history and have their own internal lending criteria to decide whether to grant you credit or not. You will have difficultly being granted new credit because of the default. See below.

    The account is in good standing with the creditor. No arrears or defaults.

    You've successfully settled this credit agreement (paid it off in full according to the contractual terms). This is positive information for other potential lenders.

    This is the bad apple. You defaulted on a credit agreement in November 2013 (you failed to meet the repayment obligations and let your account go into arrears) and subsequently the lender has placed a mark against your credit record. This is negative and is why you got declined for your application. It shows that you cannot be entrusted with credit as you've failed to honour a previous credit agreement. Pay the debt off - it'll still be on your credit record for ~5 more years but at least it'll look better if it shows that it's been paid.
