Authorized user removal question.

So, I asked my wife to put me as an AU on her Discover card to help my CS. I had her remove me from the card in February, but it still shows up on my credit report as a $0 balance.

 

Why is it still on my credit? 

 

Does it affect me if I were to apply for a card or auto loan?

 

If I dispute it would it negatively affect my wife or my credit?

Re: Authorized user removal question.

@JayTea7  Thank you for your response. The relationship with status terminated simply means you are no longer an authroized user on the account.  This will not hurt you credit. Some creditor will delete the account others will report it they Discover is reporting the account. Terminated simply means you were an authorized user on the account but not now in your case.  The link below will give you more information on what Credit Karma calls relationship Trans Union calls ECOA
