My husband and I each have a Chase card that was recently charged off- 19k and 14k. We had great credit and consolidated all our debt at 3% onto these cards, so the balances are big. Then we faced employment issues and found ourselves unable to keep up with the payments. Chase said call back when we had the details of our mortgage modification, and that was strung out. When I called back last week, I was told that the accounts were now with United Collections Bureau, charged off. I aid I didn't want to work with UCB, could we still work on a settlement?
