They show all kinds of crazy things onmine and my hubs' as well. One one the account is open, on two it is closed, but it has been continuing to accrue extra charges, and shows under my installment loans, with a 120+ past due note on there.
For me, yes. On my recent report from TU it is listed as collection/chargeoff, with a balance of $2043. On my Equifax report, both direct from the agency, and from here on myFico, it is listed as open, 120+ past due, balance $2043. Here is where it gets really funny, I disputed them in 2011, where they were showing as both closed as open, and it has still been accruing charges, even on the closed/chargeoff one. I just did yet another dispute, so I guess we will see what happens. If the CRA comes back saying it meets FCRA, I'm going to send them copies from the other two that show different account statuses and original creditors.
Every single way that LVNV shows up looks nothing like any other collection activity. It always looks like an OC, except that there is a comment that says Factoring Company.
