After checking my husband Experian credit report, we were surprised to see a default registered against him by Virgin Media. We cancelled our subscription with then at the end of March 2014, we paid the final bill (admittedly late) in May for £144, the default was added after we paid the bill. Can they give a default after only being less than two months in arrears, plus we never received a default notice and have pointed out that they added the default after we paid. They use the excuse that although we paid the bill it didn't show up on their system for a week allowing them to give my husband a default. I have proof of when we paid the bill before the default. The default is only showing on Experian and not Equifax.

Re: Virgin Media default
I would certainly write to Virgin, and demand they remove it from your credit file.
Just because it never showed on their system for some time, is hardly your fault.
I'm sure someone on LB will know the correct procedure for this case....“The only man who sticks closer to you in adversity more than a friend, is a creditor.”
