charge off and reporting
Date: Sun, 04/14/2013 - 15:41
I had an installment loan that i got behind on. The company "charged it off" and I made an agreement to pay the balance, which included the interest i would have paid plus the principal. This is showing up on my credit report as every single month 120+ past due..is the correct reporting? I assumed it would show up as a charge off.
thanks for any help,

What country are you in?? Your grammar is horrible...are you just here to practice your english??:
it is way past..i defaulted
it is way past..i defaulted in November 2010. It will paid in full in september of this year. I guess i dont understand why the company continues to show me 120 past due every month..i get it, i defaulted, but i right now am in compliance with my arrangement with them.
When they charged you off you
When they charged you off you were 120 days past due...that was your final status. Paying it wont change the status....paying on a charge is not positive...in other words it does nothing for your credit.
It doesn't help your score
It doesn't help your score but if a lender is looking at the report he'd rather see paid collectors than unpaid ones
