Closed accounts appearing as open?

I paid off and closed 2 credit cards back in January, and a mobile phone contract also came to an end around the same time.
All of these accounts are still showing as active, and money owing on my credit files with both clear score and noddle.
Does any one know when these will be updated and shown as closed? I'm sure my credit score will improve once this has happened, and I'm desperate to see it improve as i feel like I'm getting no-one quickly.

thanks

    Your "score" is meaningless. Relax.

    I had this with vodafone. I raised a dispute through noddle and the account was closed as it should have been months ago. It's still showing as open on clearscore so have had to raise a dispute with equifax this time.

    I'll reiterate previous advice: relax.

    It's likely your account(s) will show as settled whenever your next report is generated (if you expand the different accounts you'll see when it was last updated; that should give you an idea of when it'll be marked as 'Settled').

    Unfortunately it can be shown as 'open' which is when you'd need to raise a dispute but it's not common.
    It's not your credit score that counts, it's your credit history. Any replies are my own personal opinion and not a representation of my employer.
