I've actually paid the account off. I'm just looking to get the default removed from my CRFs.
I've just noticed in the data protection statement it says
"Details about you and the conduct of your cahoot account may be passed to
credit reference agencies
and these details will be used by other lenders and all others authorised to search the credit reference agencies' files, for purposes such as credit assessment of you and members of your household"
Doesn't affect me, but surely I have to consent to my data being used when someone in my household applies for credit? This is surely a breach of the Data Protection Act.
