    It should show as a settlement or partial settlement as of the date you settled it. If it's not showing that then you need to complain, saying you will go to the ICO and FOS if they do not mark it correctly.

    this noddle by any chance?
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    Depends if it shows as settled or satisfied on the report. If it doesn't then it's wrong regardless of monthly status.
