will this be a issue on my file or can i let it go

Think you need to get Octopus to correct it.  Should be a simple request to them hopefully.  My concern would be how do they get your record from July23 to Nov23?  They should be starting at the correct date and continuing with each consecutive month.  

But once that is sorted there shouldn't be any issue.  And possibly even if it doesn't get completely corrected it is likely only to be an issue if you were about to apply for mortgage/loan/credit cards etc.  If that's not happening for a couple of years then it will all be ancient history by then.

will this not set a default off when it gets to 3 credit ref callender months of missed payments in real time (dec-feb) come feb default sets off as my credit file will be showing july23-sept23 payments received and nothing since

well it's a bit weird isn't it.  They have reported incorrect info so they should correct it.  If they don't the info will remain.  But if everything following is correct there's no issue.  

But they shouldn't be saying you are in default July - Sept as you weren't a customer so they should correct.

But also again as previously - a blip on your credit history for late last year will have no impact if you are applying for credit a few years from now.  By then there should at least be a not to say "wrong dates".
