credit default is an overdue debt of $100 or more that hasn’t been paid by the agreed date. For a debt to be listed as a default:

  • The debt must be at least 60 days overdue
  • The creditor must have sent you notices requesting payment
  • The creditor must have notified you that they intend to list a default

Defaults are serious matters that indicate you’ve failed to meet your payment obligations.
