    They can take a while sometimes, my Virgin card took about three months before someone started asking for payment. It's no problem to you, if they don't ask they don't get so put the money towards other debts or into your emergency fund until they do.

    Yep same. Two defaults with tesco. Had a dmp style agreement with them to pay. The tesco App starting playing up and standing orders were being sent back so stopped paying. Haven't heard anything since. It's been a few months now at a guess. They've had been taken over by Barclays/barclaycard. Can't remember which. I figured it was to do with that
