Charge off is a bookeeping term. It means that the credit card company takes the tax credit. Most here feel that the CAs do not have a legal claim because they buy the debt for pennies on the dollar and we the consumer have no contract with them. However, if they sue, they do indeed have a legal claim. Just because a debt is charged off by the original creditor, it does not go away. How nice it would be if it did. Charge off is at 180 days, not 90 days.
