If you have a very bad credit history you will get a certain amount of points for each. The bank then look at the risk to make a decision. If you only have one default and depending on your age, they probably wouldn't bother about it. As long as you have other good credit.
Hi,
the debt is still yours even though you have got a default. it's basically a slap on the hand. with a 10% deposit you shouldn't have any problems getting a mortgage you just won't be able to use a high street lender. the default on your credit file will clear after 6 years. you might want to check you haven't got a ccj if you haven't paid anything for 3 years. talk to an independent mortgage advisor. hope this helps.
