What is the difference between a charge-off and write-off account?

11 years 10 months ago
There is an account from TNB on my credit report. I have disputed the listing with the credit bureaus. Equifax has modified the account status as “charge-off, paid in full”. However, Experian has changed the account status from charge-off to write-off. I'm little confused. What is the actual difference between a write-off and charge-off? The listing is still there on my credit report. Do I need to pay off the debt? This single item has stopped me from obtaining an auto loan at favorable interest rate in Tehachapi, California.

Credit Report Dings

11 years 10 months ago
I was applying for a new mortgage and when my Experian credit report was pulled there were six entries on my credit report from the same collection agency that were posted in February. I had never heard of the company nor do I have a clue what the entries are for. I don't ever recall receiving a collection letter or call from this company. The total dollar amount owed is next to nothing, 2 of the entries are for $22 each and the other four are for $12 each. Do I send a debt verification letter or just pay the $92 and let it go?

 

question about settelment letter to collection agency

11 years 10 months ago
Is this an acceptable letter to a collection agency as an offer to settle debts? In Reference to the account: ____________________ To whom it may concern, I am in a position to offer 250.00 towards settling this debt. I will require that after satisfying this payment, my account will be reported “Paid in Full”. I also will request that you remove any late payments or charge offs on this account from my credit report once this settlement is paid. If your company is willing to accept my offer, then please sign this letter agreeing to my proposal and return a copy to me.

 

If bank balance is below loan payment amount will it go through for full amount?

11 years 10 months ago
I live in California and have an installment loan with Check N Go. Got me hook, line and sinker. Next month the loan payment due date is before my payday and so it will not clear. I called Check N Go twice to let them know and both phone reps told me there are zero options. That is the payment will attempt to go through and then they will contact me to make up the payment. Of course there is likely a huge fee and I tried to convince them I want to make good with them. I took the loan, and I have to pay it back.

CHECK N GO HELP

11 years 10 months ago
I took out an installment loan from check n go. I live in Missouri. My payment is 556.00 monthly. I was late on the first 2 payments so they took my payment but did not pay anything to the principal because of the late pay. On the 15th they received another payment ( this time on time ) Now they are telling me I will have to pay 2 extra payments in order to pay off. I understand a late fee but over 1100.00 dollars going to interest only seems totally unfair. Also, I requested that they ACH my payment but the manager told me that was not possible I had to show up with cash only.

TX-Stuck in the PDL wheel with too many PDLS

11 years 10 months ago
Help, I live in Texas and have managed to get myself stuck in the payday loan hamster wheel. I was wondering if the below loans were illegal. All I want to do is get the principal paid off so I can be done with them. My next draft is the 26th and this week I will close down my bank account.
