PDLs dropped off before 5 years on Equifax credit report?

sully1311

Hi,
I’ve noticed that 2 PDL’s that I’d stupidly taken out in 2015 (1 in July, 1 in Oct) have been removed from my Equifax/ClearScore report even though it’s been less than 5 years since they were opened or closed.

Does anyone know why this is? Should I expect them to drop off my Experian and TU reports?

Im not sure anyone can answer the question, they could disappear but I wouldn't go jumping up and down/get excited about it.
Did you put a claim in against the lenders ?

Yes I did, but I haven’t had the results of claim back yet. I’m not getting excited about it, I just thought it was a bit weird that they’ve been removed before 6 years has passed.

By any chance were they ICL / Moneyshop / PaydayUk / PaydayExpress Loans?

I’ve also noticed 3 (Moneyshop) disappear from my Equifax file this month about a year early. (Have to wait a couple of weeks before my Experian/TransUnion files update this via MSE/Credit Karma)

I think this is probably due to the redress scheme (details at https://www.themoneyshop.com/) - but I haven’t heard anything directly from the company.

I’m making an assumption that if they have been removed from one at the direction of the company, there’s no particular reason why they shouldn’t be removed from the other 2.

Maybe the entries being removed is part of the claim, just a thought.

Have you checked Experian or MSE credit club ?

Are they still listed there ?

I have Credit Club and Credit Karma, still listed on there. I thought it could be due to the claims but I thought they would have got in contact first to give me their outcome.
Hopefully I’ll hear something from them soon.

Yes they were PaydayUK PDL’s.

I’ve just been through the FAQs on the site: https://www.themoneyshop.com/FAQs
Q7 seems to confirm this is part of the claim process and our claims have been upheld - I suspect COVID may have delayed them sending updates to claimants.

Have your other 2 reports updated yet?
