Default past 6 years still on file

Hi Guys + Girls,

Does anyone know how long Equifax take to remove a default that is past the 6 year mark. It dropped off Call Credit and Experian on 17th July, but it's still on my Equifax file.

Thanks in advance :)

    No hard and fast time, but it can be instant on the day, can be a few days, or can even be a few weeks sometimes. If still there by the beginning of next month it may be worth complaining.

    Thanks what I thought, if it's still there next week I'll give them a call and ask them to look into it.

    Many thanks for your reply Fermi :)
