Findings for this account

Potential issue Plausible EQ: account marked sold/transferred still shows balance 4100.00.
When a debt is sold, the original creditor commonly reports a zero balance and the buyer reports the balance. Two tradelines showing the same balance can overstate what is owed. Whether this is inaccurate depends on the facts; obtain the ownership/assignment history.

Unresolved question Plausible Balance differs across bureaus (EQ: 4100.00, TU: 0.00).
