Here is the truth ๐
๐ณ You miss payments for 180 days
๐ณ The creditor writes the debt off as a loss
๐ณ But you still owe every single dollar
๐ณ AND it destroys your credit score
A charge off is not a get out of jail free card.
It is actually one of the worst things that can appear on your credit report.
The creditor gave up collecting โ but the damage to your credit is very real and very lasting.
And here is what makes it even worse โ
The debt can still be sold to a collection agency who will come after you all over again. ๐ณ
Don't let it get to that point.
