Payday Loans entry on credit file

Evening all,

Looking for a bit of advice on Credit file entry by Paydayloans

I've had several over the last year and fortunitly thanks to the help of the board im all clear and not going back there ever again.

Each loan or defer of loan that i had with PDUK has put a credit account on my file, they all show settled as i have paid them month by month. But i don't know if this is a good factor or bad factor for my credit report as i have 25 settled accounts and on the credit report it states i have 1 positive factor which reads (You have a significant amount of successfully settled non-mail order accounts)

Is it possible to get these removed???

see below. I currently have an amazing score or 573 at moment. But im on the up. I will not borrow i will not borrow i will not borrow

    Looks to lender like someone who has quite not got his finances in order and a high risk & No these can't be removed until 6 years after they started.

    You can't get them removed, they are showing a history of how you manage your money. The whole purpose is to show other lenders what you had sgned up to in the past.

    They are not good to have though as it shows you have not made your income last from one month to the next so had to borrow.

    Because 30day loans and settlements are not the sign of a PDL? And yes they would see that it was a PDL.

    Unfortunately CRA do not lend so any score from these can be ignored for the most part, more likely someone not taking out PDL and defaulting will be given a better internal score by the lender.

    Lenders do not see the organisation who offered the credit.

    They just see Loan, credit card/store card or current account etc.
