Hi

Just checking my equifax file. I have on there a Default from Barclaycard account ending 4003 from Jan 2016. Further up is an entry from Link Financial with a default for the account ending 4003 from February 2016.

The one from BC shows as settled but there is clearly a D in red on there and the Link one is showing as defaulted

Am I correct in saying that I should only have one entry? If so, who do I contact Link or BC?

Thanks for any help

    Link. They need to remove it.

    Or you could go via the CRAs. Remember to check all three.

    Yes - they need to move theirs to the same date as the BC one and have the BC one removed.

    Sorry to jump on this thread but I too have 2 x defaults to Barclaycard and PRA who took over the debt also put 2 defaults on but they are exactly the same dates as the Barclaycard ones. Should the PRA ones be removed???

    Mine are paid off and satisfied

    It doesn't overly matter, but if PRA want their name on the defaults, then the Bcard ones should be removed.
