Help with Credit Report

Good afternoon everybody,

I am wondering if anybody can help me. I brought a property with my ex partner back in 2008, we separated in 2012, she remained in the property and it is my understanding she did not pay the mortgage and the house was repossessed and sold at Auction.

The mortgage was in joint names so we were both responsible for the mortgage, as our split was a bad one, she had an affair and moved in another guy no details were shared about what really happened.

Now 5 years later after really burying my head in the sand with it all financially iv looked at my credit report today.

It shows that the The Account has been satisfied.

The current balance is £0 and the account was closed september 2013

It says the default was satisfied 30th september 2013

what exactly does this mean? does it mean i still owe them thousands, we owed about 116k on the mortgage when we split up and i believe the house was sold for around 76k at auction after repossession.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Get your report from the other 2 agencies, Noddle, clearscore and experience are the 3.

    Not an expert but it looks like it's been paid off.

    Hi

    I agree with DCFC79 that showing a balance of £0, with the account satisfied and closed looks like it was paid off. It’s worth checking with all three credit agencies as suggested.

    they wouldn't tell me if the other person named on the mortgage had any payment plan, but judging by the balance it wouldn't seem so.
