자주 묻는 질문

Does a charge-off mean I no longer owe the debt?

No. A charge-off is an accounting action by the creditor, not debt forgiveness. You still legally owe the money. The creditor can still collect, sell the debt to a collection agency, or sue you depending on your state's statute of limitations.

How long does a charge-off stay on your credit report?

A charge-off remains on your credit report for 7 years from the date of the first missed payment that led to the charge-off. This date does not reset if the debt is sold to a collector or if you make a partial payment.

Will paying a charge-off improve my credit score?

Under FICO 8 (the most common model), paying a charge-off does not remove it and may not significantly improve your score. Under FICO 9 and FICO 10, paid collections and charge-offs are weighted less. Newer scoring models reward paying off charged-off debt.

Can I negotiate to have a charge-off removed from my credit report?

You can try a pay-for-delete negotiation where you offer to pay the debt in exchange for removal. Not all creditors agree, but it is worth asking. Collection agencies that purchased the debt are sometimes more willing to negotiate than original creditors.
