Charge Off Showing Balance

I had a repo balance verified through cras. Since I have done that, the original creditor has changed the balance from 0 to amount they say I still owe. It is a charged off/written off account at this point and states so on the reports. Should this be showing a balance on credit report or should it be 0 dollar amount? I was going to dispute this next as they changed the amount.

Yes...they'll show the balance owed because you still owe it.

If they sell the debt to a JDB then they should change their reporting to reflect that (account sold and a balance owed to them of zero).

Cool, you're on :-)

Let me throw this at ya... while we're on the subject....

Suppose they don't change the balance to zero (after it's been sold). Would this be a good case for the 1-2 punch? I think so, but wanted your opinion first.

It's probably just as likely that they would simply correct the entry and keep reporting as it is that they would remove it.
