A charge-off occurs after a debt becomes delinquent for an extended period. When a creditor lists a debt as a charge-off, it means he is declaring it uncollectable. There are accounting and tax benefits for a creditor to declare charge-off delinquent debts; the process is common and debts are routinely charged-off after as little as six months of delinquency. Debts that are charged-off are also filed on a consumer's credit report, where it can remain for up to seven years. Debts that are charged-off are still legally valid and can be collected. But there are ways to attempt to remove charge-offs from a credit report.
Instructions
- 1
Contact the original creditor. After a debt is charged-off, it is usually sold to a collection agency, if the collection agency is paid, the charge-off will remain on the consumer's credit report. You must contact and negotiate with the original creditor to have any chance of removing a charge-off from your credit report.
2Ask to speak to someone in the finance department who has the authority to remove charge-offs from credit reports.
3Persuade the creditor to remove the charge-off in exchange for payment of the debt. Know in advance the total amount of the debt and how much time will be needed to completely pay it off. Being able to pay off the debt in a single payment immediately will provide the most negotiating leverage.
4Ask that the account be listed as "inactive" or "closed" as a last resort if the creditor will not remove the charge-off.
5Get a copy of any agreements in writing. If possible ask that the person to mail or fax you a copy of the terms that were agreed upon. If this is not possible, get the contact information of the person who agreed to the terms, write up the terms of the agreement, send a copy to their mailing address and request a signed copy be returned. Do not make any payments until a signed copy has been returned.
6Pay off the debt following the terms agreed upon, after you receive a signed copy of the agreement stating that the charge-off will be removed after payment in full.
7Request an updated credit report from each credit reporting bureau to ensure that the charge-off was successfully removed. By federal law, U.S. citizens can request one free credit report from each bureau annually. See the resources section.
