DaS Debt Removed

Posts: 2 Newbie
I'm in a Debt Arrangement Scheme (Scotland). I've been paying for over 5 years. I'm 2 years left.I've noticed all the debts I'm paying in my DaS have been removed from my credit file (Clearscore).
Does this mean I'm Debt free? None of the debts appear anymore including my DaS. I've asked Step Change to confirm but I also know I'm paying 10% in fees so I don't know if they will provide the correct information.

The debts still exist. It sounds like they have dropped off your file as its been 6 years since they defaulted1

Everything gets removed from your file automatically 6 years after default, regardless of whether its paid or not.
It has no bearing whatsoever on your liability for these debts though, two very separate things altogether.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free wannabe, Credit file and ratings, and Bankruptcy and living with it boards.
