Default question - Marbles CC

Options
Hey there,
I am in a Protected Trust Deed at the moment and my Marbles CC was sold to Link during the Trust Deed. 

On my Credit Report, I have the Marbles CC showing as a Default with a £0 balance and now a new seperate entry from Link for the value of the Marbles card also showing as a Default. Essentially, I now have 2 Defaults for the same debt if that makes sense.

Is this normal practice or should the original Marbles account be showing as settled?
Currently in a Protected Trust Deed - 23 payments until DEBT FREE - February 2027

    No you don`t have two defaults, a debt can only default once, its just the one default, but with a status update entry added from the new owner, Link.

    The Marbles entry should show a zero balance, and should show the date the account defaulted.

    The Link entry, should show any outstanding balance, and the same date of default.

    Both entries will automatically drop off your file on the 6th anniversary, as per normal, so its all good.
