I am slightly confused about this as I've got 3 dates posted.

Account started 03/10/2011
Default Date 03/07/2012
Default Satisfaction Date 29/10/2012

When will this default drop off? I really have no idea..
[STRIKE]1/12/16 - £152,599.00 [/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]11/11/17 - £145,990.00 [/STRIKE] <> Overpaid £3916.
11/11/18 - £142,074.00
Barclays Car (5.99%)£0/£8,832.37

    6 Years from default registration. So in this case, 03/07/2018.

    Why do you think the account will be removed this year? It didn't default until 2012.

    Where? When?

    Martin knows very well that defaults do not 'drop off' until 6 years from the recorded default date, so if that was said/written, it would be an error or misunderstanding.

    What? No.


    An account is only removed if it is closed, be it via settling or defaulting. It doesn't disappear 6 years from when you opened it. I mean if that was the case everyone would likely lose track of active Credit Cards as once you've opened it, you generally keep it for a long period of time.


    Martin Lewis would have never, ever said that an account drops off 6 years from opening so I'm afraid you've alas likely misunderstood. Defaults always drop off 6 years from registration of the default, regardless of when an account was opened.

    The account closed when it was defaulted. A default IS the breakdown of an account because of a breach of the T&Cs by either side.


    The first date you quoted is the date an account was opened and is totally irrelevant to when it leaves you files. I still don't see why there is any confusion.
