Thanks again - however i am a little confused at the last bit -

just remember that even after the debts drop off

does nt mean they are sb'd or not still due.

-- So i should just pay the RBS one and have it marked as paid or??

thanks for the advice - whats a F+F offer?

Will having it marked as fully settled improve my credit rating

or will it mean the date it will be removed from my file in

- 2020 because thats the last payment paid (6 years)

Hello i was wondering if i could get some advice please.

Trying to resolve my current bad credit rating with equifax (218) with two defaults lodged upon my equifax report

- after years of avoiding i am finally in a financial position to repay/sort out my current credit standing.

My basic back story:

I had a current account with RBS since 2007

that then changed to have student overdraft facilities added in 2009 when i started studying. T

he problem being i changed my address & stopped studying (I was only living in temporary accommodation) and neglected to notify my bank of the change - after years of just completely ignoring/not thinking about my maxed out overdraft its finally time for me to repay/sort out my bad credit rating.

On my credit report it shows the account defaulted in 2011

- I phoned RBS to see if i could just pay the outstanding balance

and they notified me that i can't get the default removed from my account even if the balance is paid.

Is their any other option i could go through to try and get this default removed?

The account ended in Aug 2011 - so waiting until 2017 isn't really the best option for myself.

The second default is for the same address and its a BT broadband bill of £220 that is defaulted on my account.

This is marked as May 2009 on my credit report

- this means it will expire in this coming may for the six years mark.

Is it worth just paying this or waiting?

Regards

Maunder

p.s it may also be worth noting my credit rating for the exact same details on EXPERIAN state my credit score rating is 'GOOD'

Why would this be?
