Me and my girlfriend both have a business card. she has one and i have one.. She hasn't paid hers in 150 days and I am about to not be able to pay mine. The reason why i am posting this topic is because I thought that credit cards charge off after 120 days. Is there something else to it when its business card? My cards are already closed and in a hardship program but i can not afford it no more. Anyone know anything about it?


what do you mean by personall guranteed? All i know is that we dont even have them in a real business name they are just under our social security number. we got them thinking we were going to start a business but never did... there was no Federal id number or tax number required to get them, just a social security number. Its a chase business card limits of 10 thousand

I had a number of business cards, used for a business I had to close. One got settled before it was charged off. One still had not charged off at 270 days, when I received a summons with an alternative settlement offer. The other one was around 180 days, I believe.

As far as it being a business card, I don't think that would matter when it charges off so much as the company it belongs to. And now, with the turmoil in the industry, who knows. I don't think there's any set rules. Mine were BofA, Advanta, and Chase respectively.

When you stop paying, the fees and interest continue to accumulate. It can add a few thousand. For example, one account I settled started out at 10,000 and by the time it was settled it was up to 12,500. But I got a 25% settlement, which was still a good deal, a little over 3,000. It's all part of the negotiation.
