Since the account is "PAID" I would expect the "Current Status" to reflect such and not "CHARGE-OFF". Am I wrong?

First, a little light reading.

Yes, you are wrong. This is what's known as a paid charge off.

However, there looks to be some incorrect reporting so assuming this is an OC then they are in violation of FCRA. That means you can sue them.

They report DOFD as 02/2006, but DOLA as 07/2005 and Date of Last Payment as 04/2005

How good are your records on this account? The account probably went 30 days late, 60 days late, 90 days late, 120 days late, then CO.

DOFD (Date Of First Delinquency) should be, I believe, the date it went to 30 days late.

In any event, print off hard copys of all three CRs--assuming it appears on all three. Your best bet is to gather all the documentation you have on the account, and you may be able to get a deletion with an ITS letter.

You may have enough to sue them with what's here on your CR. If the account balance is $0, and the Date of Last Payment is 04/2005, and the account is a CO, then obviously the DOFD would have to have been before 04/2005 and could not possibly be after 04/2005.

The previous poster is partially correct. You do have some incorrect reporting, but in order to sue, you need an s-2b violation. To get that, you have to dispute the incorrect information and get them to verify it.
