TransUnion Default Listing Function
The TransUnion – Default listing function in Datanamix, allows a credit-granting business client's, to list a business or consumer who has defaulted on a payment in accordance with the NCA (National Credit Act) regulations of 2005, directly onto the TransUnion Credit Bureau Default Listing database.
This listing will immediately appear on the consumer TransUnion Consumer Credit Report as adverse information under Default listings. In the case of a business, the Default listing will immediately appear on the business's TransUnion Business Credit Report under Default listings.
The TransUnion Default Listing function forms part of the standard Datanamix product suite and is available after registration to any business that grants credit to other businesses, or consumers.
A default remains on your credit report for two years or one year, depending on the description of the default. Subjective classifications of consumer defaults remain for one year. Consumer default classifications where enforcement action is taken - such as bad debt written off or handed over, credit card revoked or repossession - remain on your credit report for two years.
Default data will be removed once the default is paid in full. Once the default has been paid, the lender has seven days to update their information and inform the credit bureaus of the paid-up status. The bureaus, in turn, have seven days from receiving the notification from the lender to amend your credit report.
