  • 6 years from default.
  • Thank you.
    Another query, I had a h&m credit account that i stopped using some years ago. The account didn’t default and i think the last transaction was 2014, but need to check. I have just noticed they have marked satisfied march 2019 and updated june 2019. Is it correct they can add this to my file now, even though i used it 6 years ago?
  • The data should reflect the status of the account. But if it says the account is satisfied, that's nothing to worry about.
