      Exactly I'm with you 100%, the government never pays their debts okay they only steal from the social security fund they don't return that money back to social security if they did we wouldn't have any problem with social security and social security would probably be able to pay their constituents $2,000 a month instead of $700 and $800 a month

      If you got your loan or credit card through a bank or credit Union, call in or visit a branch to see if they allow you to dispute the impact to your credit report (especially if you have already paid the charge off in full). I’m not totally sure about the process, but the place I work for has a department that assesses disputes when letters (electronic or handwritten) are received.

    I have a big issue with this. I bought a car from the Hyundai dealership years ago, and then after 2 years the car died on me, so I took it to the dealership to get it fixed and they told me they were going to fix it and that they would call me when it's done. Weeks later the dealership called and told me that the person who was fixing my car took the vehicle for a test drive and then had an accident so they took it to the Auto repair shop. 3 days later I received a total loss letter I spoke with the dealership team and they said they were going to put the gap insurance on the car and that that would pay off the reminding of my car loan, so I stopped paying them but I kept receiving monthly charges. The insurance took like 7 months to pay off the remaining of the loan. Now I have been dealing with the charge-off even though it was;t my fault because I was told that the insurance was going to pay off the loan so I didn't need to worry about payments. Never again will buy a car from Hyundai.

    • @gitbox
      @gitbox 5 місяців тому +2

      Negative marks on your credit report affect it less and less as time goes on. Before it was charged off, you were probably being hit each month for missed payments. After it's charged off, you are no longer being expected to make monthly payments, so now you just have the one time charge off being reported, and nothing after. As mentioned before, each item on reports carry less weight in the credit scoring with time.

      Because interest accrues on an unpaid loan/credit balance, as part of contractual terms outlining provisions for interest. It happens when you don't return the money, in full, by the due date. Even if your account is closed, if there is still a balance that goes unpaid, it will accrue interest.

    Lies liesss a debt collector can not go after you that’s violation by law !! You never sign a contract with the debt collector so it can be removed !! Stop telling these people lies ! Also before the creditor try to put anything on your consumer report they have to send disclosures form n also notify you if you want your public information reporting so not guys he lying don’t believe anything please read the law

      Disclosure form they must send to you to opt out meaning asking you if u want your information published on your consumer reports, it’s a lot of ways to get a charge off your consumer report. What I used to get mines off is a 1099 which is something the creditor must send to u because a charge off is a charged off debt that u never paid so they write it off to irs so once it’s written off it’s income so income cannot be on your consumers report so it must be removed .

      This is what I gathered researching this strategy:
      Regarding the strategy involving a 1099-C form:
      1. 1099-C Form and Charged-Off Debts: The IRS Form 1099-C, “Cancellation of Debt,” is issued by a financial institution when a debt of $600 or more is forgiven or considered uncollectible. This forgiveness is considered taxable income by the IRS. The idea behind using a 1099-C form for removing a charge-off from your credit report hinges on the concept that once the debt is reported as forgiven (or written off) and acknowledged as income, it theoretically should not also be reported as a collectible debt affecting your credit.
      2. Impact on Credit Reports: Generally, credit reporting agencies list debts and how they are handled, including any charge-offs. The appearance of a 1099-C on your tax return does not automatically remove the charge-off from your credit report. Credit reporting agencies and the creditors themselves have procedures based on the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and IRS guidelines.
      3. Disputing Charge-Offs: If you believe a charge-off on your credit report is inaccurate, or if you have paid off the charged-off debt, you can dispute the entry directly with the credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion) by providing documentation, including proof of the 1099-C if applicable. The credit bureaus are obligated to investigate disputes and correct or remove inaccurate information.
      4. Opt-Out Disclosures: These generally relate to whether a consumer’s personal information can be shared with affiliates and non-affiliates of the financial institution. Opting out can limit certain types of information sharing but does not directly relate to how charge-offs or other negative information is reported to credit bureaus.
      5. Legality and Ethics: It’s crucial to approach credit repair ethically and within the confines of the law. Misrepresenting your situation or filing frivolous disputes can backfire. If you’re considering using a 1099-C or any other method to challenge a charge-off, it might be beneficial to consult with a credit counseling service or legal professional who can provide guidance based on your specific circumstances.
      Remember, improving your credit takes time, and the most effective strategies involve managing debts responsibly and correcting any inaccuracies in your credit reports. Strategies that seem too good to be true often have pitfalls, so thorough research and professional advice are key.

I’m pissed at Verizon for doing this I was going to pay then but they sent me quickly to collection. I already have a house and a car, should I pay it or can I get away with just saying screw it.

    I had a credit card charged off after we went to court about the credit card and now is been charged off and is been abt 5 years plus. Now I just went back to the bank that the credit card was with to do business with again but they telling me that credit card that was charged off needs to be settled with the other company that the card debt was sold to. So question is do I have to pay this debt or call the company and settle that debt so I can have a good business terms with that bank again or what should I do please.
