I also use Personal Capital.
Something annoying about finances is dealing with negative numbers. If my credit has changed by -$500, at a glance, does that mean I have paid off $500 or does that mean my debt has grown by $500?
Obviously this can be figured out from digging in deeper, but I like "at a glance" stats.
What I am saying is to add context clues. Rather than giving a plan number with negatives, maybe $500 but green means "paid off" and $500 but red means "grown".
I don't know of a person that would see a red $500 and think they paid off $500.
Negatives are hard, especially when credit is already backwards.
