When an account is “settled,” it means the creditor accepted less than the full balance. While the debt may be closed, it still reports negatively. These accounts should report as $0—but many don’t.

Provide ghost-written letters to dispute inaccuracies.
Escalate through our Smart Credit Algorithm for stronger results.
