Capital One Charge Off Reporting

First time poster.  Thanks in advance for any insight folks can provide. 
 
In May of 2005 I finally paid (in full) a Capital One credit card account that had been charged off.  I paid Cap One directly (no collection agency).  I've been reviewing my credit reports and it appears that Cap One is reporting this differently to each CRA.  For TU and Experian, it is reported as "Closed (Paid)" and Equifax reports it as "Derogatory."  The "High Balance" is different ($791 on TU and Equifax, $1222 on Experian), dates are the same at each CRA, and the amount they report as charged-off varies as well ($791 on Equifax, $834 on Experian.
 
Lastly, the final amount I paid to Cap One does not correspond to any of the numbers reported to the CRA's.  I have the letter they sent confirming my payment and that the account was paid in full -- I paid $1289.
 
Can anyone explain why the info varies by CRA, is this impacting my score, and if so what can i do about it.  I tried to call Cap One earlier but gave up after being on hold for 20 minutes.
 
Thanks!
