Hi,
I had a BT broadband contract back in 2015. For 6 months I had virtually no connection & an usable telephone. BT refused to acknowledge the fault, didn't fix anything but expected me to still pay. So when I cancelled the contract they put me in default saying I needed to pay the remaining contract off despite them being unable to provide me with ther service. I refused to pay the £360 & have had no contact with them since 2016.
My clearscore credit report had the default listed at 2016. Then this week I noticed the default has been updated to say 2018, even though I have had no contact with them at all & have ignored all their letters.
I was just wondering how they can update the claim with no contact? I thought that after 6 years they became statute barred & would be removed from my report, but if they keep changing the date it will never be removed. Could someone explain how this works as this is my only default & I would like to get rid of it, but I'm not able or willing to pay the money as they were unable to provide me with the service.
TIA

Contact them and ask them to correct the date.
Watch out for notice of court proceedings, so you can decide whether to accept a CCJ or not, as that will mean a further 6 years on your files.1
