Vodafone - Credit Report - Confusion

Hi !

I finally bit the bullet and checked my credit files the other day. No surprises, fortunately, but I'm slightly confused by my Vodafone entry. I closed the account in 2005 and (to the best of my knowledge) paid up in full. The account shows as 'Satisfactory' and 'Settled Date' as 2005, but the 'Current Balance' is £6 rather than 'Settled'.

Anyone have any ideas? Does this mean I still technically owe vodafone £6? I have full greens on that entry, never received a letter from them, and am somewhat confused. I would try ringing them, but I can't recall what my number was back then.

Help?? :confused:

    Think that might be the only logical option. I PM'd the Vodafone guy on here yesterday but have had no response. Thanks :)

    My CallCredit and Equifax reports actually show the final balance as £0 and the status as 'Settled'. I can only assume no one told Experian. Can I get this updated some how? Do I even need to?
