    does it in fact mean anything

    what does clear and closed actually mean

    it doesn't for example mean that if you have a CPA then it will be rejected
  • I'd assume to remove the entry as a live account on their credit file cos Cap1 usually tie up unecessary credit thus meaning someone lese may refuse you.

    A closed Cap1 account will be better looking than a live one that isn't being used, surely?

    My assumptions of course.
