It's supposed to show the original amount owed, then once you close the account, it'll show it as the account was turned in with an 800$ balance and has a remaining balance of 0$.
That's just the way it is and the way it works.

Report the inaccuracy to one of the major credit bureaus and they will investigate and do all the leg work. Once they find that the amount being reported as owed isn't the same as the amount you owe, they'll force the change on your credit report. FYI you can file an online report through Equifax without having to pay.

It's "bureau" ~ listen by clicking on the red megaphone:

I don't know the answer to your question.
Sorry!
