Default issued in wrong name

If the default is legitimately yours, then no, a typo doesn't invalidate the notice being correctly reported
Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

Thank you for your reply. If that’s the case then could I ask why British Gas are removing the default? The chat operator also said that if British Gas was found to be at fault then I would be compensated.0

It might be their policy, it might be a low cost and easier to make you go away, if it's your debt though, they don't have to just because of a typo, that is the point - they could just correct it and reapply it
