Hi all
Below is my credit report (personal details taken out)
1. What should I be most concerned about regarding my report and is there anything I can do to improve it
2. What date will it all be clear (I'm unsure if it's the default date or satisfied date plus 6 years)
3. Would every bank send me away right at this moment, would it be best to wait to apply for a mortgage
4. I had some Wonga defaults on my credit report a few months ago they were all taken out end of 2011 but they are no longer there, have they fallen off before 6 years?
Thank you in advance and sorry if I am being extremely dense!

Looks fine to me.
The occasional late payment over 1 year old are usually ignored.
How can you miss a payment on a current account?:footie:Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S)
Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money.

Hi,
The only question I can answer is that the defaults will disappear from your credit report 6 years after the date of the default - regardless of satisfied
Were the Wonga ones contested as part of the irresponsible lending thing? If so that might be why they have disappeared.
Also, have you obtained your report from all 3 agencies; Experian, Equifax and Call Credit - some accounts might be missing from one or the other so safest to have all 30
