Entry on my credit file - is this right?

6 payments late Settled

Thats what it says. Should it not be satisfactory and settled? Wouldn't I have been better defaulting on this account? Could I get this removed?

Paid off 3 of my debts today - further debt cleared off :beer:

ESTIMATED CCCS DEBT FREE DATE: April 2019. I aim to be debt-free by 2014 at the latest.

    I doubt you would get it removed, its a true record of your credit history.

    A default would have been far far worse.

    Well done on your debt clearing........
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
