Credit Report

Can anyone tell me how I go about getting 4 accounts on my credit report removed?
They are marked as "settled" on my report but I do not use them and dont intend to anymore so I wish to get the accounts off my report.
Any advice would be good.

Thanks

    You can't.. I believe they are removed automatically after six years. They are on your report so companies can see how good/bad you are at dealing with credit, so they can decide whether to lend you money or not. The fact they are shown as settled indicates that the accounts are fully paid off and closed.
    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?
