Hi jimbiggs,

If a debt is charged off, then it would remain in your credit report for the next 7 years though you pay it off. After 7 years it would fall off from the credit report. However, if you do not pay off the dues, then the collection agency can sue you for the debts till the SOL period is over. Once the period is over, the collection agency cannot sue unless you start the payments again.

Hi Guest,

The charged off account will remain on your credit report for 7 years from the date of charge off. If one of account is charged off recently, then it won't get removed in 2011. It will get removed after 7 years.

Thanks

Will the charge off be sold to somebody else to try to collect? This is the big question and common practice. They have no recourse to collect if the statute of limitations has expired but they can still sell the bad asset to whoever want to buy it for pennies on the dollar. Do not be surprised if one day you receive a notice from some collection company wanting you to pay the loan. Even though they have no recourse they can charge it off again and sell it off again and they will report to the credit agencies.
These loans have little documentation and those who buy them are hoping to collect something, they buy 1000s of loans at a time or are forced to buy them due to foreward contracts with financial institutions. They remove the bad asset from their balance sheet and pass it on to others to collect. Making money in the process. This area has little regulation and will get extremely out of control once all the foreclosures and other bad loans reach a certain period due to the past two years of the bad economy.
I am curious to see if they remove it. Let us know. If not dispute it. And that is a process that you may never win. The credit agencies are joined at the hip with all of the financial institutions and serve their interests not those of the public. If anybody knows more about this let us know.

A charged off account does fall off after 7years. But the CA can sell it off to another agency. You are required to pay the debt that you legally owe. However if the SOL expires, the person owing the debt cannot be sued anymore, but if a person really owes a debt, then why not pay it off?

Hi,

It is true that charged off accounts fall of the credit report after 7 years. However this does not mean that the account may not be sold off to another company. That is the reason why old accounts that has been charged off, continues to come back on the report with other, new collection agency.

If an account is charged off, but the due amount is not paid, but the 7 years has passed, any new company who has bought the account can start the collection process again.

seems the best way to handle this, is to contact the angency and get them to agree on removing the said account from your report and not show paid charge off if you pay the bal. in full but have it on paper.

you can also pay for deletion

remember...if you make 1 payment to them..your SOL statute of limitations restart.
So better pay them in full if you plan to pay them
if you do a payment plan and you're late ....then your 7yrs restart also

Will it automatically leave your credit report? Or do you have to do anything to get it removed?

Also, is there a way to find out on your credit report when the date of the charge off was?

it automatically drops off after the 7yrs from the last negative activity

there's usually a date listed there when it will come off

Guest

Hi tb,

A charged off account automatically falls off the credit report. It falls off after 7 years of the last activity on the account. All the details of the debt including when the debt was charged off gets listed on the credit report. So, you can check your credit report to know the date of charge-off of your account.

Thanks,

Lydia
