# Edit Collection Status

You can change an account’s Collection Status, if the account is in collections and the account has not been referred to a collection agency (Agency field is blank in the Collections window). If the account is NOT in collections, the **Edit Collection Status** option does not appear in the shortcut menu. If the account is in collections, but has been referred to a collection agency, the **Edit Collection Status** option appears in the right-click menu, but it is unavailable.

To change an account’s Collection Status:

1. Right-click anywhere in the Collections Information section of this window and select **Edit Collection Status**. This displays the Update Collections Status window.

2. Select the status you want to assign to this account from the drop-down list and click **Save**. This updates the Status field on the Collection Detail tab and the Collection Status column on Collections History tab.
