| You have to be patient, it takes a while to get them off your report, then it will happen. |

Yes, charge off listing is not good for the credit score. Once charge off gets listed in your credit report it stays there for seven years plus 180 days from the date it is reported in the CRAs. Moreover, charge off can lower your credit score by as much as 100 points. So one should always avoid charge offs by coming to a repayment agreement with the creditor.

Wow, that is a lot, I had no idea that it lowered your score that much, that is a lot. Now how does it affect your score if you had the charge off, but have charged them off?

Hi goodnatured
Even if you pay off the charge off, the sad part of the thing is that it will hardly improve your FICO score. However, it is always advisable to pay off a charge off account because it gives a better look to your credit report, mostly when your future creditor is going through your credit history.

| You CAN delete a charge off from your credit report. I have done it MANY times. I have had 35 negatives on my credit report. 18 of which were charge offs. I wrote dispute letters over and over and over again and kept sending them to all 3 credit reporting agencies... then I kept requesting ALL original documents as required by law they have to give them to you to prove to YOU not you prove to them !! YOU ARE IN CHARGE if you want to be.. grow some balls and dispute EVERYTHING over and over again... PS send ALL documents with a return when received card !! that way they know you are serious... i went from 35 negatives down to 3 negatives...... be persistant !! |

| Good job Lom. Hopefully maybe GN will stop back and she can read this post and get some of hers off. She has been working on her credit for a while and doing a awesome job. |
