Yes, they can and it's customary for them to. The original account should have all the history, including late payments you made and the status (collection or charge off), the DLA, and date the account was opened. It should not be showing a balance due once sold or assigned to a collection agency. It may have a statement about being sold or transferred, but not always. The CA account should have the date they received, or were assigned, the account and the current balance (often with interest added in). The DLA should not have changed.

Using a Purchases Returns and Allowances account is preferred because it provides clearer financial reporting and better tracking of inventory and expenses. It allows businesses to separate returns and allowances from total purchases, making it easier to analyze purchasing patterns and assess the impact on profitability. This distinction also enhances the accuracy of financial statements, giving stakeholders a clearer view of operational performance.


Does cost of goods sold account have a debit balance or a credit balance?

Expense accounts should always be debit balances. The only exception is when you are recording discounts received on purchases in a separate account than the COGS account used for purchases. Discounts should be shown as a COGS account so that it is netted against purchases, and will have a credit balance. But even in this case, the total of all COGS accounts should be a debit balance.

Is there a statute of limitations on how long creditors can collect on charged-off accounts?

Statute of limitations is a term that applies to how long a consumer can be sued to recover a defaulted debt. It has no bearing on collection activity. There is a separate time period for how long a charge off can show on your credit report. A creditor can attempt collection on an unpaid debt forever. It's just that after these two time frames have passed, their collection efforts have no "teeth".
