  • Will i ever beable to get bank loan with 1 default on my credit rating?

    I got 1 default on my credit rating,Its from Halifax who told me My account would freeze as it went into a unplanned overdraft of £260 Because Alton towers took a payment from my account 3 weeks later after the date of arrival and been told the payment had been paid.After going to my bank 3 weeks later and saw i had £700 in there which i withdrew the very same day from behind the counter as i asked them to see if that was my correct balance as it was more than i thought was in there they said yes this is withdrawable today so i took it,The next day Alton Towers took there payment from my booking what i done 3 weeks earlier Taking me £260 overdrawn.Halifax said they would Freeze my acound even tho i paid £100 into the account in the first week of been overdrawn taking it down to £160 i got a letter about 2 months after saying it will affeect my credit score if I dont make arrangments for payment which i have now started paying but the balance as gone back up to £260.Any advice what i should do?

    Ask them to freeze interest and charges as you are struggling to keep up with the repayments. If they do, great; if they don't or if they ask you to fill in their own version of an Income and Expenditure sheet, go to someone like Payplan or Stepchange who will be able to help you.

    NEVER take a loan to pay a loan in your circumstances.

      Hi and welcome!

      Have you checked your credit files to see if the default has actually been recorded?

          So are you saying you did not get a Default Notice. Initially this would have given you 14 days in which to remedy the breach, and would have stated the sum due?
