A credit slip is a document that shows you've paid off a credit account, but what does that really mean?

A credit slip is issued by the creditor when you make a payment on your credit account, and it confirms that the payment has been made.

Think of it like a receipt for your credit account - it's proof that you've paid your bill and it's been updated in your credit history.

The credit slip typically includes the payment amount, the account number, and the date of payment.
