ROLL CALL: Who has sucsessfully had defaults removed?

[huggles]

it is a useful reference, might I suggest a success stories sub forum for the defaults section?

[Goooner]

Anything would be good. Just something that shows that these defaults can be removed and at what stage.

[Fully_charged]

I'm with the #25 and #26 on this one..........could the Mods make a quick note of that pls.....?

[Goooner]

Once again this thread was a great idea by TheAnalyst but it seems to have died. It would be nice to know over the last month or so if there have been more successes, particularly defaults that were not all made up of charges. Many people talk of going to court to get defaults removed, it would be nice to see the successes.

Hi Gooner, I have had success with two, but they were essentially the same wrong information, the third piece of that equation is still ongoing, only achieved a marked as satisfied on a non existent account so still not happy, guess who CAPQUEST!

[rosierose]

The aim of this post is to get an idea of who has sucsessfully had defaults removed from their credit files....

 

Reply with the following information if possible:

 

Name of company that registered the default

Amount of the default

Was the account settled or did it still have a balance

If the default was all/part/no charges

What action did you take & on what grounds did you request the default removal

What (if any) third party was involved (Information Commissioners Office, FSA, Court etc)

 

Thanks in advance!

 

It was some time ago now, but I may have been the first here to use the "no CCA = no default" arguement. That worked for defaults issued by HSBC (3K - settled), MBNA/Link Financial, (7K - 4K outstanding) and a car HP agreement.

[Goooner]

Maybelline - at least you were sensible enough to check your credit file and then get the wrong info rectified.

Rose - Were they mostly made up of charges? Mine were partly charges but were all satisfied 3 years ago and within a month of default. Wish I had declared meself bankrupt and not given them a penny.

At least you and the other successes here give us all hope.

two defaults removed after sending surlybonds letter

 

1st credit DCA was originally barclay card

style financial services aka ted baker card

[maybelline]

Finally had a result which makes the last 5 months and at least 20 letters to various creditors somewhat worthwhile

 

RBS have agreed to remove my default and instruct AIC debt recovery to stop pursuing me for £290.

The default of £2560 was made up mostly of charges which they refunded and the remaining £290ish was unauthorised overdraft interest that I would have never had if there had been no charges in the first place.

 

This was after the 4th letter I sent them and had to include copies of all statements and prove from those statements that had I not been charged I would have never been overdrawn in the first place.

 

Should be off my credit files in the next 72 hours ...

 

Hi Analyst, I notice on your list Welcome have removed a default -they seem to be digging their heels in over on the WF threads on defaults that are wrong on unenforceable agreements, any tips?

I think RBS (Style) have taken a decision to settle all Default removal attempts given information I have personal experience of - I can't say more at this stage in open forum, but it appears the Surleybonds letters are having the desired effect at an early stage of the proceedings.

ANY PHONE COMPANY DEFAULT REMOVALS OUT THERE??????

I've had Judgment by Default against 2 for O2, but that could be a one-off that is challenged by them anyway?

Have to wait to see what happens next...

[TheAnalyst]

Right, i've had more success!

 

the Carphone warehouse have removed the default on my account once I cleared the £260 debt, they changed it from a "8" marker with 1,2,3 & 4 ;late payment markers before it to "S" with 3,3,4,4,4,4 ( ) before it.

At least the default is gone, its still a result.

 

Welcome Finance .... there was a £3565 default with the full amount still owed. I have sent so many letters to them, they did supply a valid agreement and i was getting nowhere with them regarding no default notice, ppi and charges so yesterday I offered the Lewis Group (Welcome's DCA) £1200 in full and final settlement on the condition that the default be removed completely, THEY AGREED! and I have it in Writing! :o

 

Very happy man today

 

Just leaves 1 more default (Littlewoods, grrr!) and a satisfied CCJ to remove!

Hi All

Default was with HSBC for £3400 with illegal charges involved. March 2007 sent letter asking for original copy of default letter as none was received. Had no reply to this letter but hey presto the default was removed from my credit file.

Not all good new though in November this same debt appears on my credit file once again with a name not of HSBC but FV-1 who I have had no agreement ever. In November sent the notice to desist processing data. No reply. Today have sent Data Subject Notice. Anyone any ideas if it is legal for FV-1 to even enter this on my credit file.

dlc placed default on credit file ref welcome loan for 2500

informed dlc of legal proceedings and started to claim charges ppi etc from dlc

dlc sent file back to welcome and removed default, now no mention of welcome or dlc on credit file

[boss lady]

Hi thanks for the reply but I'm quite new to this forum can you please explain who dlc is and what does ppi mean:-? Thanks

[car2403]

DLC is a Debt Collection Agency and PPI is payment protection insurance.

 

You'll get used to these acronyms eventually, although I'm still learning so you aren't alone.

[boss lady]

Thanks for the explaination I am going to keep notes so I do not forget. I sent the first notice to stop them processing my information which they have completely ignored so I am now sending the second notice which SurlyBonds posted and I have also threatened court action if the default is not removed. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Hi did you send surlybonds letter to the DCA or barclaycard I'm really getting confused as to where to send the letter, or should it be sent to the DCA if its their name on the credit file.

Hello,

Sorry of this is not the right thread for this question - please refer me elsewhere if not -

 

I heard that if an account is in dispute then you can instruct the data controller of a card company/bank not to process any data relating to you on the grounds that the account is in dispute and therefore no facts proven one way or the other.

 

There's a clause in the act I believe to the effect that data may not be procesed if it is liable to cause distress or damage - well, if the alleged facts turn out not to be true, or if the agreement turns out not to be valid, then passing on any data woud certainly cause distress and damage.

 

Any experience/ knowledge of this sort of issue please ?

 

Thank you

This thread is for people to list the details of defaults they have had removed.

 

You obviously know this is not the correct place for your question yet posted anyway?

Post it in the main "Data Protection and Default Issues forum" please

[noomill060]

good grief..... well done analyst - alienate the newbie.

 

"Post it in the main "Data Protection and Default Issues forum" would have been sufficient.

[noomill060]

Welcome valhalla-you'll get the advice you need.
