    I’m having the exact same issue too! My account was also defaulted - if CRAs hide it from the report but Wonga gets back to them eventually, does anyone know what happens when they add it back to your report? I’m assuming it won’t affect the date of the original default even if they make it visible on your report again?

    (Sorry for the rambly comment!)
    Im not sure what happens if they get back in touch but i believe it will just be reinstated on the report, as it is now. My partner has contacted Equifax and it has now been 28 days and they have removed it from his account fully YAY! so def worth doing
