I settled a debt with Bank of America/XXXX XXXX XXXX. At the time of settlement they created a new account number for the debt, stating in their letter that it was for internal purposes only. After settling the debt it still shows up on my credit report as " charged off '' rather than " settled. '' In my understanding this single debt ( regardless of if it is tracked under XXXX account numbers ) must be listed as " settled '' or " legally paid in full for less than the full amount '' to be fully FCRA compliant.
