Default to CCJ then 9 years later another default

Evening,
Back in 2008 I defaulted on the debt which I subsequently received a CCJ for in early 2009 I entered into an agreement with the creditor via the court to repay the debt which I have done and never missed a payment.
The CCJ dropped off my file in 2015 and no other record off the debt was held on my credit file until this week where its reappeared on my file stating it was defaulted in Oct 2013??? even though I have never missed a payment.
I'm assuming that this is an oversight on their part and will contact them on Monday morning to attempt to put it right.
Has this happened to anyone else on here? or if anyone can impart some advice it would be very much appreciated.
Cheers

It has happened to people before yes.
Contact either the debt agency or the CRAs and ask for it to be removed.0 -
Yes sainsbury bank did it to me after default expired, I complained they said it was computer error as there was still and out standing balance it thought it should be reported, I wonder how many people have been caught out like that0

Do the CRAs not check anything at all? It seems they just accept anything that's shovelled in their direction, regardless of its authenticity or accuracy! I would have thought an organisation whose purpose is to act as a repository for credit data should at least put basic checks in place. This sort of thing really should be reported, and they should be fined by the ICO.0
