Statuses

Is there a list of official statuses that can appear on the credit reports? Does it vary from CRA to CRA?

I'm wondering because I am a recent charge off that's been paid in full several months ago and has been updated on all three CRAs. Here's how the status displays on each:

EQ: CHARGE-OFF
EX: Paid,Closed/Account charged off.
TU: Collection/Chargeoff

Somewhere in the description/comments they all mention that it's been paid.

How should a fully paid charge off appear? EX looks right. The other two, not so much.

If the account is closed, but there is a balance due, Special Comment M or Compliance Condition Code XA should also be reported to indicate the account is no longer available for use.

Re: Statuses

I have 3 reporting like this and different on ALL CR's.
 
I would rather a PAID then a CO but am too scared to dispute it in fear of them being reported back to CO.

Re: Statuses

Thanks, Timothy.

I think I'm like you in this regard. If my statuses for the same account at each CRA is (it is a fully paid chargeoff):

EQ: CHARGE-OFF
EX: Paid,Closed/Account charged off.
TU: Collection/Chargeoff

If seems to me that you are correct, it should have been reported as a:

64 Account paid in full was a charge-off.

However, it doesn't appear to be that way at EQ or TU. I've seen strange things happening with disputes, so disputing isn't usually my first option.

It is frustrating when you don't even know how it is supposed to appear on the report. It's made worse when the consumer reports are filtered through some mechanism to make them more readable and understandable.

In my case, here this particular account was a lawyer negotiated PFD where the OC is not living up to the terms of the settlement. It is currently in dispute at all three as well as there being ongoing legal discussion between my lawyer, the OC's lawyer, and the public utilities commission.
