Default Removal Services
Defaulted on a payment? Let’s take it out of your record.
Having one or more credit defaults on your credit report is a massive roadblock for your financial goals. Whether you want to buy a car, a house or even get a new mobile plan, credit defaults may stop this from happening.
These negative listings stay on your record for 5–7 years and warn lenders that you’ve failed to pay debts on time in the past—even after you’ve already settled these debts.
With defaults, getting approved for any type of loan or credit becomes an uphill battle. Credit providers become more likely to deny your applications outright. And if you do manage to get approved despite the defaults, the cost of finance options available to you significantly increases. You’re likely to pay outrageously high interest rates that make borrowing so much more expensive.
A credit default doesn’t tell the full story. Often we work with clients who’ve suffered domestic violence, divorce, lost a business or job, or simply experienced a difficult period in life due to something outside their control.
Our role as credit repair experts is to investigate, dispute, and advocate your position to remove unfair and incorrect information from your credit file that harm your overall credit profile.

What is a default listing?
A credit default is a borrower’s failure to pay their account on time. Credit providers can list a default on your credit report if:
Does paying a default remove it?
Paying the debt updates the default to paid status, but it will stay on your credit file for five years from the date of default regardless of whether you pay or not.
How long does it take to remove it?
It can take anywhere between 14–30 days from onboarding with us to remove the credit default from your file.
If the default is paid, will it stop me from getting finance?
Short answer: it depends. Paying the default does not remove it from your credit report.
Each bank has their own policies—some may accept a paid default whilst others may not. It most certainly will reduce the number of lenders you can apply with and may increase interest rate costs.
What laws govern default listings?
This is a section 6Q notice under the Privacy Act: A default can be listed on your credit report if:
Can a default listing be removed?
Yes, it can. There are rules, but knowing them allows us to advocate on your behalf and find reasons why it can and should be removed. We have a very high success rate of removal.
How long will a default be listed on a credit file?
Credit defaults remain on your report for 5 years from the date of default. If the default is categorised as serious credit infringement, it remains for up to 7 years.
How much damage does a default do to my credit score?
Depending on the credit scoring body, a default can reduce your score significantly. A default listing even if paid still affects you for up to five years..
Does removing a default listing remove the debt?
No. Debt is money you owe and a default listing is information that exists on a credit report. Removing the default does not remove the debt—you may still need to come to an agreement with your creditors. However, we will often negotiate the debt at the same time we remove your default listing.
