One of two things. First, you still owe the money. but you can not use that credit account anymore. or Second, you have paid off the account and the creditor has not notified the credit bureaus that you have paid this account in full. If it is paid in full, I suggest you notify the credit agencies.

Does transferring credit card balances affect your credit score?
Transferring the balance doesn't usually affect credit. You actually will be better off doing this for those cards that were closed by the companies, because they will report on your credit as revoked and if you're not paying on the balance, they can still report as delinquent monthly, even if it's closed. So if you can transfer those especially, that is much better b/c the new company simply pays off that balance for you and you can start fresh.
