Experian credit account status

Quick question please. Just looking over my accounts on credit expert. There are three accounts all relating to credit cards that were settled in 2009/2010, however the status is blank, where as my other settled accounts show the status as satisfactory.


Is this something I could ignore?


Thanks

    You should query it just in case. If there is no settlement date then Experain may not know when to drop the record from the file.

    They have settled dates but in the list of credit accounts where the status shows as satisfactory for all my other accounts, these 3 are black, i.e not showing any status at all. Should I check it out and would I speak to Experian or the creditors?

    If it shows as settled and doesn't show any negative then nothing to worry about.

    It may perhaps be that for the last few months you had the cards there was no balance and so no status to update?

    That's true, think I will leave it alone as its never caused any problems as far as I'm aware, haven't been refused credit for a very long time.


    Thanks
