Long story short, I had a defaulted account with RBS over an unpaid overdraft which was sold off to Robinson Way/Hoist.
I paid the balance off to Robinson Way/Hoist a couple of month ago and the RBS account on my credit files was then marked as settled/satisfied. Fast forward to now and Hoist have gone and added a new defaulted account to my credit files, although marked as settled/satisfied, so now I have 2 defaults listed on my Experian and Equifax reports relating to the same debt.
Can they do this and why?
Why go and add another account when it was already paid off!

What’s the original default date ?As long as the two dates are the same it’s perfectly fine, and both will drop off on the same date.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free wannabe, Credit file and ratings, and Bankruptcy and living with it boards.

The new Hoist account has the same default date as the original RBS account but it's still listed as 2 defaults on my credit reports giving it even more negative affect.0
