Default and payment plan

Hi, I have an account with Lloyds which is now closed, it was switched to First Direct. There was still an overdraft on it. I tried to find out how to settle it but I couldn't as the account disappeared from my online banking and Lloyds said I needed to wait for it to go to the collections team before I could arrange payment. Fast forward and a payment plan has been set up to repay the overdraft.
My credit report however shows each month as being default.
I ma little confused as have a similar thing on Santander accounts and they don't show as defaulted. Is this correct or do some banks report it differently?

If you were behind on payments then yes the account would have defaulted0

Yes the account will have defaulted for non payment, the default stays on your file for 6 years, what you see on your credit report is the monthly status update.

Im making payments each month and have done for the last several monthsso im up to date yet its showing as default each month, that's what im confused by0

It's because you defaulted on the account.
Once you clear it, the default markers will stop and the account will show as satisfied.0 -
Ok sorry still confused, account shows settled in july last year and since then default every month since with balance being reduced slightly each month. What I don't get is that im doing the exact same with Santander but that's not showing as dafault0

The settled marker sounds like an error if you are still making payments on it.
You could ask them to change it to a default marker, but it will make little difference, apart from adding clarity.0 -
is it because its been passed to moorcraft and they now own the debt?0

The original account with Lloyds will be marked as settled if they've sold it to a DCA yes0

When an account goes to collections its quiet likely you will be defaulted, it appears thats what has happened here.
The default date will be on your credit file, and it will stay there for 6 years.
Lloyds defaulted you as overdrafts are repayable on demand, and you didn't do so.
Do yourself a favour and read up on the default process.“Everyday is a bank account, and time is our currency. No one is rich, no one is poor, we've got 24 hours each.” “It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.”0
