Here is exactly how bad it gets ๐
๐จ Your score can drop 100+ points overnight
๐จ It stays on your report for 7 years
๐จ It makes it nearly impossible to get approved for:
โ Personal loans
โ Business funding
โ A mortgage
โ Even an apartment
Lenders see a charge off and immediately view you as a high risk borrower.
That one account that went unpaid could be the reason you get denied for the home, car or funding you have been working toward. ๐ณ
The good news?
It can be dealt with. And the sooner you act the better.
