confused by credit file

Hi All

I've recently received my credit file and in all honestly I am completely confused by it!!

I had a DRO which finished last year so should the balances for these accounts show as 0?

and what should the account status code show? at the moment they show (8) which is in default- but I cant see a code that represents settled or partially settled!!!

WHat should I be looking for?????

My apologies if I'm being incredibly dumb!!!!

    Can you post a screen capture or scan of the report entry?

    Experian reports will show a final status of an 8 on a defaulted account even when settled I think? Should say somewhere else it was settled though.
