Delinquent and Default - Credit report

[Deleted User]

Hello

I’m in process of reducing my debts myself rather than going through a DMP.

i have a number of accounts that are showing as delinquent and a few showing as default. Having don a quick Google search is it right in assuming default is worse that delinquent?

Any advice would be really appreciated.

If I could please ask that any abbreviations are explained as being. A menus to this I don’t understand what they mean. 

Many thanks

Delinquent can be used to describe an accounts status prior to default, yes.

Worse in what way though?

An account can remain delinquent for many years, wear as a default will be gone and off your file in 6 guaranteed.
