Default Written Off??

I had a judgement issued against me in Fla., I later moved to Ga. I am disabled and have no assets and my only income is SS, a few months ago I noticed on my credit report that this judgement was "Charged Off" along with 2 credit card accounts. Does this mean that the judgement is no longer collectible? There is a JDB trying to collect on one of the CC accounts, but I haven't heard back from them since I sent them a DV letter, although they continue to report on my credit report.

A few of mine were charged off also, but my accounts were sold to CA's. If the CA owns it, they can and probably will eventually sue you for it. You did the right thing by sending a validation letter, they can't continue to attempt to collect until they have responded to your letter, and validated the debt in question.

Judgements in FL are good for 20 years but would have to be domesticated to GA. MAybe the amount is not worth the effort to them?

"Charged off" doesn't mean that you no longer owe the debt or that it is no longer collectible. It just means that the original creditor removed the balance from their books and reported it as a bad debt. That doesn't mean that they can't sell it to a third party collector.

The charged off amount was around $30,000.00, it was on an RV that I was unable to use or pay for when I became disabled.

When did you move from FL to GA? You may have tolled SOL. The RV should be covered under the UCC but again, research both GA and FL statutes to verify.

Default hospital bills

what does write off mean? i had a hospital bill back from fall of 07 and i was told that they had my wrong info on my insurance. i faxed them a copy of my insurance with the bill. i got the same letter again about a month later so i sent the bill and a copy of my insurance. that was in 08. i called 1-30-09 and was told it was written off.i called my insurance and they said because the hospital was not submitting the claim correctly. another ? if a bill is written off and u never receive a bill and not asked for money but u send money monthly should they keep your money
