After how many missed payments did your creditors default you?

Just curious?..Barclaycard issued me with a default as soon as I had missed 3 payments. I have missed 4 payments with Tesco Bank, MBNA and Virgin so far, they haven’t yet defaulted.

NatWest, First Direct, NewDay, Tesco, MBNA & Virgin were around 6 months from when I stopped paying in September 2022.2021 Decluttering Awards: ⭐⭐🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇 2022 Decluttering Awards: 🥇

I went straight onto a DMP,. Barclaycard and Tesco defaulted me after 3 and 4 DMP. payments, and MBNA after a year of DMP payments. Virgin were unbelievably difficult and only defaulted after a year of DMP payments and 16 months of no payments. I got very fed up with them and made a complaint about them not defaulting me, they rejected that but they did default me just afterwards..I don't know if it was related to the complaint or not1
