Removing default from Equifax

[Yemenyemen1987]

Hello, I've been a loyal customer with Virgin I recently noticed a default on my account, I did set up a direct debit but for some reason it did not go through without me knowing and I would like to discuss the possibility of having it removed. I believe in maintaining a positive financial history, as I am trying to get a mortgage and this default will effect my borrowing and I hope we can find a solution together. Can you please provide assistance in addressing this matter?"
