British Gas

Hiii
So ive just finished my IVA and im busy trying to sort my file, ive noticed that British Gas is showing on my account. This is from an old property and its showing an outstanding balance with last payment made January 2015. Since then every month is showing as a late payment. Ive had NO contact from BG and this is obviously pulling my score down. Does anyone know where i stand with closing the account and removing from file? Will i have to settle the account since the debt is over 2 years old?

If it's your debt, then yes, you should settle it.
It will then show as settled and drop off 6 years from the default.0 -
Why have you not heard from BG? If you've moved and not given them a forwarding address they'll just stick a late payment on your report every month and are unlikely to remove it.0

British Gas is an energy and home services provider in the United Kingdom. It is the trading name of British Gas Services Limited and British Gas New Heating Limited, both subsidiaries of Centrica.
Wow, I never knew that, thanks !
