Observation after a default dropped off

Just had my final default drop off my credit reports as it reached the 6 year point.
Whilst I'm expecting nothing, did check my Transunion score and the default has been removed from that within a week.
My fake credit score dropped by 21 points due to me now using a greater % of my available credit (paid my credit card, although probably after the data was sent to the CRAs).
Anyway, it's good to see my record being a little clearer. Been a long time for this to happen due to my own stupidity
Now another 4 months until my CCJs drop off.
Some light at the end of the tunnel.

I had a look at my latest Clearscore report yesterday and nothing has changed there.
Did have a load of "pre-approved" Natwest balance transfer / travel etc. credits cards under my offers, but they've all gone this morning.
Only the usual 118 and JarJar Vanta cards there.

Well done on reaching your six year milestone 🙌🏼 I have two left, with the final one due off in Jan and can’t wait as you say to have a clearer record.0
