Having a charge off on your credit file will negatively impact your score. This will often prevent you from being approved for new credit.

If approval does occur it will be contingent upon you placing a big down payment and paying a high interest rate. This is the punishment creditors place on individuals when they are unable to pay their bills.

The system does not allow for unexpected events. Sometimes these events will force a good person to choose between repaying a debt and providing for their family.

Credit bureaus want you to think that when a charge off occurs you are stuck. That you will have to pay the penalties until the negative listing is naturally removed with time. This is false.

The FCRA or Fair Credit Reporting Act states that a credit bureau must remove a listing that is inaccurate of can not be verified. Lenders will rarely spend the time or money to verify an old debt.

So when investigations occur listings are usually removed despite the correctness of the listing. When we hear how hard it is to repair your credit it is in regards to getting the investigation started.

This is because it costs the credit bureaus potential profits to investigate a listing. There is no money for the credit bureaus to make off an investigation and the only incentive is to comply with legislation.

Thus credit bureaus are very resistant to granting an investigation. They have a formula in place to discourage and frustrate an individual when they request an investigation. This is the common reason people will hire a professional credit repair firm.
