Account status change on credit report

I was looking at my credit report today and a card account  that was charged off has been changed to a collection? Is that normal?  is it the same thing  just a change in designation on thier  end?

 

It is an account that was charged off in 2008 - and has show that way until just this month.

 

 

Just looked very strange - anyone know why that would happen?

Does the TL have an amount?   If it's $0 it's a CO.

Then it is not a CO.  It is a collection account.

Re: Account status change on credit report

4 years old is what it looks like on the DOFD.  What is the SOL of your state?

Re: Account status change on credit report

Offer a pfd, and keep trying till they agree.  It is now passing the SOL so they can't take you to court.  So keep sending them till they take it.
