Zilch is a credit provider for short term buy now pay later (spreading payments over 6 weeks for example) - if you bought an item on BNPL then they may have used this provider. Assuming you did, then it has to stay there for 6 years from when it was taken out, after which time it will be removed per the normal finance rules.

Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.
