Missed payment marker for a closed account – has anyone had this resolved?

Hi everyone,

I’m hoping to get some advice or hear if anyone else has had a similar experience. My EE mobile account (closed before June 2025) is showing missed payments for June through to August on my credit file, even though the account was fully settled and closed. I switched providers earlier in the year as I didn't want to pay their extortionate fees anymore and wanted to cut costs where I could.

My online account portal was showing and still shows the £10.20 balance as 'already paid for this month', with any more money 'crediting my account' so as far as I'm aware the bill was/is settled and I never received a final bill with anything outstanding, I also never received a late payment reminder which I did previously, or arrears notice. EE’s complaints team says the balance is technically owed due to internal pro-rata adjustments, but from my perspective, the account was settled and this hasn't been communicated. I've since contacted the credit referencing team and credit agencies, but unsure if this will do anything. I feel like I've been shafted and am frustrated and angry having been a long time EE user, it makes me never want to use them again.

Has anyone else successfully had EE correct a missed payment marker on a closed account? If so, how did you manage it? Any tips for getting the credit reference agencies updated quickly would be really appreciated.

P.s I'm more than happy to pay if this money is truly owed, but their online system is completely contradicting what they are saying which makes me think I'm in the right here. It just seems so stupid my score is impacted over £10, when I've worked hard to move it up.

Thanks in advance!

We want to make sure all our customers have the information they need to run their account with ease. 
If there is any confusion with any aspect of your account, such as showing it's been paid when you are not aware of having made a manual payment, it's best to call Customer Service where a guide can clarify what has been paid and what is still due. 
 
You mentioned raising a complaint. I'm confident the team would have looked in detail to all aspects of your query before replying. We don't have access here to see your account, so if you're still unsure or have any further questions about your case you'd need to contact the team again.
