Hi texaslady,

I would suggest you to contact your second lender and apply for a loan modification. If the lender accepts it, then it would help you save your property. If you do not contact the lender right away, the second lender will have the rights to foreclose the property. However, they generally do not do it as they would become liable to satisfy the first mortgage lender. Hence, they can charge off the loan to collections.

Thanks

if it was charged off, then it can certainly be reported as such. what type of debt was this, roy? and please explain the forgiven aspect of it...i don't quite get the concept. as for a cancelled debt - i'd think that means the creditor denies now that it ever existed?

Post     Post subject: Cancellation vs. Charge/Off

My original loans were student-loans, that I received a medical cancellation on, forgiving and discharging my debt (in writing! ) Then my former creditor reports to the credit bureau that I still owe the debt by charging- it -off, and that they are in collections! My question is "are my debts discharged and cancelled, or are they charged-off and still owing"? They can't have it both ways! Thank You

i agree with you...have you ever tried to marry the documentation you got for the medical cancellation and passed it along to the bank? i don't get what you're describing, but it occurs to me that if the two of them see hwat've you've done with house, it'd serve you better.

Hi Roy,

Your debts can be discharged only if you had filed bankruptcy. I don't think you've filed bankruptcy. I guess, your lender had charged off the loan and thus a collection agency will now collect the dues from you. If you can't pay it off, the collection agency can file a law suit against you.

wow...was i asleep when i wrote my last comments? they make as much sense as a lot of the others, i suppose, but not to me. i was trying to suggest he take his "cancellation" and provide it to the credit agencies that are reporting the charge-off, as well as to the creditor that's being reported.

i don't think that message seeped through.

Post     Post subject: charge off on my truck

My truck is showing as a chargeoff on my credit but I have got cps to give me a settlement off but they are still reporting this as a charge off I'm paying the truck off at a lesser balance. The balance is 14365 and only paying towards a balance of 4250. I just need to know how should I go about gettin them to report this on my credit report. I'm trying to get approved for a home loan and this is making it impossible. Can u give me some advice?

I have a charge off on my credit report from cps. My truck has never been repossed. They have it listed on my credit report like that. I'm currently paying towards a bal of 4250 instead of the total amount being 14568. What can i ask cps to do to report this as a paid or paid as agreeded each month on my report

juan, i think you'll have some difficulty with this; you're paying off based on a lower amount than you actually borrowed. but cps lost money in the deal - and they undoubtedly wrote off the difference between your new negotiated amount and the old one. i doubt they'll change the report.

Post     Post subject: Charge off debit

In 2001 my boyfriend and I had our vehicle repossessed. He filed bankruptcy and I didn't now its 2009 and I wanted to purchase a home. I pulled my credit report and noticed the vehicle was stated as a charge off/ bad debit. Now it has been eight years since am I still responsible to pay off the loan or does the SOL come into play and I can write a letter to the the three credit breaus to have it removed?
