Capital One Debt Refunded?

Hello,
Looking at my credit account with Capital One yesterday I noticed that my £700 debt and interest had been refunded... I'm not sure what it means as I have recently missed my minimum payment and generally am not great at paying them on time. I'm worried the debt has been sold on, but why would my account still be open and I am able to use it? By the looks of things on my statement, there was a fee and interest refund in, then a "fee and interest adjustment" out? Leaving my account at 0. Not sure what to do now, Any help would be appreciated!
PS - Not sure if i've had any letters off them as I've recently moved house and am going to collect my letters in a few days.

Have you had any correspondence about the state of your account? Picking up the latest letters should clarify but if you can't wait then you could always ask them, via https://www.capitalone.co.uk/support/contact-us.jsf Have you checked your credit files recently to see how your status is reflected there?1

At the end of September Capital One sent me a "You need to pay xxxx to get back up to date" email, then on 1st of Oct sent an email saying "Good news, you've cleared your persistent debt balance". And yes, it looks like my score improved because my credit utilisation has gone down! So confused0

Don’t look at the score - that’s irrelevant.denisekira098 said:At the end of September Capital One sent me a "You need to pay xxxx to get back up to date" email, then on 1st of Oct sent an email saying "Good news, you've cleared your persistent debt balance".

What does it show for the actual account status?1 -
It says the account is active, and minus the amount that was "adjusted" for (taken out after the refund) which is £400. This was updated on the 6th OctoberD3xt3r5L4b said:
