issue with credit file

I am currently in the process of now trying to pay off all my debts as I have a lot more income after completing my apprenticeship. I have recently called mmf to arrange a set up plan to pay off an outstanding balance. Even though it shows a default amount of 170.00 they have said that the total is 290.00 is this right?? Also I was advised that there is another debt with them for over 1000 to Mr lender. A pdl which was originally 300 that I thought I had paid back. I am now worried that this debt from 2012 is now going to tarnish my credit file even more as it does not show on my credit file at the moment. I have said the mr lender debt is news to me so I'd need to look into it. Any help advice appreciated. Regards one uneducated human

    Hi Nath2032,

    In regard to your credit report, not all lenders will share information with credit reference agencies, so it may be that the debt is not appearing on your report.

    If a county court judgment was taken out for the debt then this would appear on your report.

    Kind Regards
