What to do with an open account with red flag?

Hi when I got my first debit card I overdraft twice. And when I went to check my accounts I have two red flags for the both times that I overdraft ,(mind, this debit card is still open) Is there any way I can get these red flags removed? Currently there the only red flags I have but I think its not helping me to build my credit since I do want to open a credit card but keep getting denied. Thanks.

You have banking TL on your CR for overdrafts?

TL - Tradeline.

 

I guess I am not understanding what you are asking.  Are you talking about your bank account?  If you are you would need to talk to them.

You know where you check accounts on fico it says my bank name than I have two flags near and an status says debt/collection but it currently isn't on my collections. I just wanted to know if its affecting my score. Is the red flag going to stay there permanent?

I am not an expert at this but you mentioned you have checking accounts showing on FICO.

 

If I am understanding you correctly you have collection accounts related to your checking account.

 

That of course is not a good thing and yes, it will affect your score.
