Defaults

Hi ive just been on the phone to a mortgage advisor. And i told him that my default fell off my file on the 26th november. (End of the 6 years) but he said it doesnt matter as lenders can still see the defaults even if they have fell off, and will affect you forever. Is this right?

The lender that you defaulted on may keep a generic record of some kind. Nothing specific. In essence a "do not do business with" note.0

I had this with the Norwich and peterbourgh when I tried to open a current account(as one of my posts) they told me of a default with Lombard from 2007 long removed from my credit file told me date and amount no one on here answear how other then linked company's they also told me it is fraud if I do not tell people that I had the defaults how ever old they are0

Ok thanks for the advice. I would of thought it was a 6 year rule for a reason

Pointless them dropping off it they still count after year 60 -

If you ran your own business. Would you deal again with somebody who didn't pay their dues?0 -

Thats not what you said N&P told you on your previous thread about it. You said that they saw the arrangement you currently had on your credit report and used that to surmise you probably had other defaulted accounts. Cant believe anything you post as your story changes each time.Still rolling rolling rolling......

Rule is there for a reason and they do drop off.
As said unless you defaulted with a particular lender before once they are dropped off another lender will never know they existed.
That is a fact.Still rolling rolling rolling......
