Removed myself as Authorized user months ago

I removed myself as an authorized users about three months ago but the balances are still showing up on my credit report....why is that?

 

By account holder it shows "Acccount Relationship Terminated" but it's showing up on my account balances?

This is a new one for me.  What kind of account was it, and who is the creditor?  And are the balance and CR still being factored into your utilization?

The balances are with a few different credit cards. Citi, HSBC etc..

 

When I click on "Understand your score" all of the accounts are being calculated intot he score. Additionally, my credit should have shot up as aside for those balances taht were not even on my cards, my credit is spotless...

You're saying that this "account relationship terminated" designation is appearing on multiple accounts, from which you removed yourself as an authorized user?  This strikes me as unusual, but I just found a reference to the various codes that can be attached to an account, and the "terminated" option does appear for TU and EQ.

Anyways, since these are not your accounts, then it would be reasonable to dispute these as not being yours.

 

Just to be clear, you were definitely an AU, not a joint account owner who gave up ownership, correct?

I was definitly an AU, I have access to my older reports as well and it says in an older report "Account holder:  Authorized Account"

 

So, where do I dispute this? To TU?

I just recently had myself removed as an AU.  I did not have the message you did, but 2 of the 3 were still reporting it.  I did online disputes as not mine and they were both removed within days.  Good luck.
